This was such an elegant formal evening gown!!! The pictures do not do this dress justice. If you want to stand out from the crowd, especially when most people are dressed in boring black, THIS is your dress! It fit perfectly for my "curvy girl" shape. You will definitely need someone to help you zip it up in the back. Also, be true to your height because it drapes the floor -- definitely need heels to keep you from stepping on the front hem. Overall, this dress made my evening magical, and I felt like a queen. I will keep my eye on this number and will look to add it to my permanent collection if it ever goes on sale.

The dress was just a tad bit snug, but nothing to detract from the overall appearance. I received many compliments from people that I ran into throughout the day I wore it. Would definitely like to have it as a permanent item in my closet!

I selected this dress to stand out during my class reunion, and it did just that! The color was spectacular and sooooo vibrant. I received compliments the whole night. At first, I felt the dress was too short, but it really wasn't too bad. The fit was also slightly smaller than I'd expected it to be, but nothing that others picked up on when I had it on. The belt was beautiful and REALLY brought out the look of the dress ... but it was the worst! It kept popping off. I ended up using pins positioned close to the fasteners to secure it to my dress. If I'd had time, I would have most definitely gone and picked up an entirely different belt. However, it so made the dress that I didn't dare not wear it!
