I received many compliments when I wore this dress. And loved it! The pattern on the material (dark silver/white/gray) was a bit bolder than my computer screen showed, maybe zoom in to see what I mean. A few notes on fit: It's a very thick material without any stretch. I have a smaller chest so it was a little loose up top. And it was actually rather tight through the hips, which made mobility (sitting, dancing)somewhat of an issue since there wasn't any stretch to the material. But going up a size might have meant it being baggier up top, so it might not have been the best fit for my body type. All of these issues were relatively minor though and probably specific to my body type, and the dress overall was comfortable and classy.
