Pretty yet conservative dress. Appropriate for work function, engagement party, or shower.
It was missing a belt, so I added a silver metal belt and got lots of complements for a daytime party. Conservative, yet sophisticated when you don't want to bare it all.

Beautiful beadwork!
This was my original pick, but I ended up wearing my back up dress... only because this was a tad bit short for me. Being 6 feet plus 3 inch heels made it just not workable. Loved the beadwork... felt and looked great in the dress... very flattering cut. Drape in back adds a bit of flair. I could have worn either the 10 or 12... actually the 10 was a bit more flattering since the material is heavy and I'm normally between the two sizes depending on the cut. Wish I could have worn this dress, but just not long enough for me.

Classy dress
I thought this dress was beautiful. The draping was very flattering, although the fabric was very thin and a bit clingy. That said, it clung in all the right places. I wore a strapless bra and had no prolems with the top. I did wear spanx... would recommend this or nothing since you could easily get panty lines with the thin material. Color is dark... closer to black than the photo. Overall I loved it. Fabric was a bit shiny in photos, but perfect for a black tie event. At six feet, I definitely needed the long. It was teh perfect length with a 3 inch heel - anything higher would have made the dress too short.
