I loved this dress. The stylist tried to steer me away from this designer thinking that my size 10-12 body might not fit, so I chose something else as my main dress but I couldn't resist getting this as a "backup" dress. I am so glad I did as it was just exactly what I was looking for. The color is more purple than blue, as previously mentioned by other reviewers but it still went beautifully with my sapphires like I had hoped. It does run a bit long, I had 3.5" heels and wished that it were just 1/2-1" shorter, but I was able to walk easily - just had a little trouble on the dance floor. In my particular dress, the zipper was tricky, so I needed a friend to zip it up for me but once I was in it I felt fantastic and comfortable all night.

The stylist steered me toward this dress because she was concerned that the other designer I was coveting runs small and this would be more "true to size". I felt that this dress still ran a bit small (I'm normally a 10 top, 12 bottom but I needed the 12 for the bodice on this one). Both myself (very pear) and my sister (hourglass) tried it on and neither chose to wear it - seemed to make us both look a bit boxy. I would have worn it had the other dress not worked out, but this definitely was not a dress to make me feel beautiful.
