After reading a previous review of this dress that listed it as like a "choir robe", I admit that I was a tad apprehensive when I received this gown and initially saw a sea of heavy blue cloth (indeed, just like the choir robes of childhood memory). However, when I put it on, I realized that the gown absolutely delivers. I wore this for a Valentine's Day black-tie affair. It's classy without verging on dowdy. It's elegant without edging on pretentious. It's the perfect dress to wear to a black tie event without looking like you put too much effort or are "over the top" (so key in Washington DC). I got a slew of compliments on the dress (and the necklace pairing from J Crew) and felt like a veritable socialite in the dress, paired with my boyfriend in his tuxedo. There are some contradictory reviews on the length too - I'm 5'4" and wore 4 inch heels and the 2L fit but was much, much too long. The 4R was a tad looser but a good length for a girl my height with heels. Hope you enjoy this dress as much as I did!!
