Beautiful dress that is simplistic and sexy. What you cannot see is that there is a slit on both sides of the dress giving it more character. The fabric is very good quality but has little stretch. I suggest you go with your actual size and do not size down. You will not be disappointed in this dress

Loved that it is both a long gown and a short dress, due to the open sides. It is beautiful.

The dress and the fabric is great, however what I didn't see from the photos is that the dress has strass/diamants down each side and the slits on the sides are higher than expected. In addition, there is basically no stretch in the fabric, so consider it small around the waist. Otherwise beautiful - just not suited for the Gala I had expected it for.
