Didn't like the way it fit, so didn't wear it for my event.
Got two sizes of the dress. First one I tried on was the right size. This fits a bit blousy in the top and in the skirt area, and nips in at the waist. I was not very happy with how the ribbon tied at one shoulder, instead of in the back.. Pictures on website don't really show this. If I had had NO other options it would have worked OK, but I had a couple of options in my closet that I felt were a better fit and more "me." A bit disappointed in this dress.

The back view is the eye-catcher! Terrific for showing off toned arms and back!
I ended up needed the next smaller size, as I have lost a few pounds recently. Nevertheless, my husband still said it looked terrific on me. Need great jewelry to jazz up the front view, but the design of the back speaks for itself. I ended up wearing Spanx just to have a really clean look, as the dress will show seams. One caveat - the back drops lower than a normal bra by 2-3 inches, so know you are going to need a special bra. I didn't feel like a standout since it was basic black at a spring occasion, but people definitely noticed the back once they were up close and complimented me on the dress.

Very Chic! But very small - I-Phone, lipstick and money maxes it out.
Fit the bill perfectly, but only for those who travel light! Took one star off just because the size is limiting.

Didn't end up wearing dress - bust way too big! But it is a beautiful color - lovely dress.
This dress is very pretty. It does run long, and seems to be true to size. However, the bust was just way to big for me. Too much too fill up with"chicken cutlets"!(I don't remember this being in the reviews I read, so beware.) I probably should have worn a size down but it was not available when I ordered it. I would have been quite happy to wear this dress had it worked - perfect for a spring formal ball!
