The color is just as pictured, quality is decent, and the length very flattering and work appropriate. The sleeves make this kind of special. Otherwise, it would be too matronly and dowdy. It's definitely not exciting and not something I'd ever buy. Decent option for the occasion and considering I paid to rent it, I feel obligated to wear it. Now for the biggest negative, I have more of an hourglass shape and 34DDD chest. The dress hugs the bust and rear nicely. However, between the chest and bum, there is baggy fabric that if you owned the dress you would need to tailor. I normally wear a 6, so I was glad to have one size bigger, which decreased this baggy tummy and baggy fit at the small of the back. I recommend this for a work event, and to order one size larger than normal if you are at all curvy.

I rented this for my companies website photo and a more formal annual networking event. Because the dress flairs out immediately after the bust line, it gives the allusion you are large all over. I appreciate what this shape was going for, but it was a fail for me. The bottom of the dress hemline also is not flat, so it adds to the allusion of being a much larger version of yourself. The hemline is cute and I love the color and quality, but if you're larger busted, this is going to be a big disappointment.
