I was hesitant about this dress because from the pictures, I was worried the ruffles would make me look like a dragon or lizard. Butt the moment I slipped it on, I really liked the ruffle details. The cut-out back was my favorite feature and everyone loved the dress. It wasn't to short or long. The only thing was that I am normally a solid 4 but I read the reviews that said to order your normal size and one size smaller and I am glad I did. I'm 5'8, 130 and the 2 fit perfect. The 4 was way to big and just hung off my shoulders and didn't form to my body. Overall I loved the dress because it was so unique and something you couldn't just pick up from a local store.
