I wore this dress to my law school's barrister ball and it was perfect! It was the perfect mix of appropriate and sexy. It fit like a glove and the color popped! I only wish the sheer panel in the back was more sheer - but that's just my preference for a more bare looking back. I wore this dress with a skinny orange belt, pink shoes, and a pink lace mask (it was a masquerade ball). It was a bold dress that really stood out in a sea of black and grey. Plus, the soft slinky material made it feel like I was in pj's all night instead of formal wear. The dress was perfect and I was receiving compliments for weeks after the event.
