This dress falls beautifully and has a lovely, luminous color/sheen. I wore it to a summer black tie wedding and received lots of compliments all night! Sizing is true for a straight/narrow figure. I ordered a size larger than normal (IT40 rather than IT38) given the information on the website, and realized immediately that I should have ordered true to size. The dress was a tad drape-y all over. Fashion tape did the trick at the bust, but the fabric hung a bit loosely around the hips and thighs. Length with 3" heels was a hair short, but suitable. The slit on the side, apart from showing leg(!), allows for easy walking/dancing/sitting with knees crossed.

I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it is stunning. Given its sweeping romance, it would have better suited a gala/benefit attendee than a wedding guest. Also, as others have emphasized, it runs small. I have a slight figure and the 2 barely zipped around my rib cage. The 6 was a bit roomy and would have needed fashion tape at the waist and bust in order to stay up securely. The 4 likely would have been perfect, but alas was unavailable. Also note: I am 5'7" and the "long" was way too long; I would have been tripping over it all night. Sizing issues aside, the fabric is a really handsome, heavy blush silk and the tailoring is exquisite -- princessy, yes, but elegant and restrained.
