I thought this dress was, overall, a winner. The pleated bottom half helped minimize a non-flat stomach, loved the color, I don't think the online pictures do this dress justice. Arms were disproportional to overall dress size, too small, but it was worth it.

I wore this to a weekday event at an embassy and got lots of compliments on it. I liked how it was cut and structured. (Please excuse the boxes in the photo, we attended this event on our moving day)

Overall, I'm glad I wore it, however I think this dress would be more suitable for someone with a more straight or lean frame. It was a bit challenging as someone who is curvy.

This dress definitely stands out, and I received a lot of compliments on it. Although it runs a bit large, the belt made a difference and the chest was well-fitted. I didn't mind the train, it looked beautiful when I walked, and I was just extra careful on the dancefloor and going up and down stairs to pick up the train and make sure no one stepped on it.
