I have to say that this dress is beautiful on the hanger AND on - however I think I see what the other ladies' problem was when they tried it on and said it didn't appear as beautiful on. The color of the dress is more akin to a light brownish taupe and may not flatter all. I for one, have an olive comlpexion and the dress just didn't complement me as well as say someone with a complexion closer to the model shown here. I found no fitting problems with the dress - It still is a gorgeous dress for whatever occasion you want it for.
