The color came out beautifully, it was very saturated and vibrant. Great if you have olive skin and brown hair like me. It doesnt look like much when you pull it out of the box because its been flattened, but as soon as you put it on it fills out and gets more volume. The fit is pretty snug through the hips. Also, this dress is 100% silk and its unlined so i would recommend spanx unless you have zero cellulite. Here was my solution to the problem: I ended up wearing the back up size underneath my normal size. Since I was between a 6 and an 8, I decided wearing both would basically be like wearing the perfect slip and help to alleviate some of the problems that come along with wearing thin silk. It came out great! Wearing both dresses at the same time may sound crazy, but it gave the dress even more volume and no offense to Thakoon, but I think it looked better that way! So the moral of the story is, 100% silk can be unforgiving, but with the right undergarments (spanx) or just wearing both dresses they send (at the same time) this dress really shines! I received many compliments on it.
