Felt very comfortable and appropriately dressed for a rehearsal dinner!
Length was great--above the knee but still classy! If you have a larger chest (me) you might need to wear a camisole under or pin the font like I did. It wasn't noticeable but necessary!

Just so classy! Very "Mad Men" with a fit that compliments a woman with curves!
The zipper down the back can pucker a little but sit tall and it wasn't really noticeable once the evening got going. The dress got a ton of compliments! A great choice!

Classic and stunning!
The material was heavier than I expected but that did not take away from its beauty! My one complaint was the stretched out left shoulder--I think because this garment was hung, the hanger did a number on the shape of the shoulder. I had to pin it so I didn't look like a football player with pads on!

The emerald lace is stunning!
I wore this to a theater production and it was perfect for the winter event. As I said the color was stunning, and even with black tights, and black heels it looked fresh, clean, and classic! The illusion neckline is something that looks flattering on almost everyone--the scalloped part was creased over which I had to steam out. The cut of the capped sleeves was not my favorite as I tend to be self-conscious about my upper arms, but the color and the complements the dress got--and me in the dress--helped me to forget the "sleeves." Rent it and enjoy!

The color was to die for! And it has POCKETS!
I wore this dress just this past weekend for an October wedding--weather was cold, and dreary but damn was that dress pretty! The color was perfect for the evening and I wasn't in the dark browns, or blacks that many of the other guests were in. The dress got tons of complements! A few interesting aspects however: the lining and filler of the skirt which is a nude color is loner than the hemline of the dress--not so much that anyone seemed to notice but odd. The chest was a little tight for me but I do have a full bust (36DD actually). This dress has been danced in so there was some wear on the sleeves but that didn't detract from the experience. The length was not as short as the model in the picture which I found to be a bonus.
