The sparkle is gorgeous. The color made my six year-old say, "Wow, Mommy!" I tried on five sweaters to see which one would "go" wih this dress. I'm not sure I found one but this was the best of the lot in my closet, as I didn't want to go with bare arms. I agree with a prior reviewer that this dress is best with a belt. I just didn't have one that looked right.

Gorgeous berry color! Very straight "shift" style that was cute and comfortable. A little short for work but was fine with black tights for one time. A winner.

Gorgeous fabric and details. I so wanted to love this dress! The top fit like a dream but the hip measurement was just too large for me. The photo is the amount of fabric I could "pinch" from the widest part of my hips, which gave the bottom a curious bell-like effect. I ended up pairing it with a knee-length matching sweater to cover. Would be great for pear-shapes.
