I wore this to the 2012 Inaugural Staff Ball. This dress was in perfect condition, beautifully made...I took one star off because the lighting in the photo with the model makes the dress's color look a bit brighter and more dynamic than it really is in real life. The true color is kind of a drab, straight-up navy. While I love the deisgn overall, this dress would have had much more dramatic impact in a shade like aqua. Really needs strong accessories like silver shoes, sparkly pendant earrings, etc to perk up the overall look. Runs long so wear heels especially if you're under 5'5" and plan to put a little safety pin in the bust to keep the top part from dropping apart and giving everyone a "show". LOL. Sorry my photo is so blurry----They had no pro photographer there so you basically had to hand your iPhone to the previous person waiting in line and snap a quick one.
