October is a tricky month temperature wise and the combination of the luxurious velvet material, high neck, plus the sleeveless and back opening design made it extremely comfortable. As a 71 year old, it can be difficult to find an appropriate style that still looks fashionable. I felt comfortable and not frumpy. As for the fit, designer sizes run at least a full size smaller than the usual. This dress also had a set-in waist with no give to it so it’s important to keep that measurement in mind when ordering. For those of us who are more long-waisted, this was perfect. The waist was on my waist and not up around my rib cage! The length is long for a tea length dress but with kitten heels, it fell to about an inch above my ankles. Overall, I felt comfortable and confident - not an easy task for someone who prefers shorts, shirts, athletic wear, and sneakers.
