I wore this dress to a winter wedding and loved it! It was super comfortable, and chic enough while not showing too much skin. I really like the detail on the bottom, and the gold metallic over the black. The exposed back zipper gives it a little bit of edge! I wore it with black opaque tights and thin gold bangles and got a ton of compliments. I'm about 5'6"/140 and generally a size 6/8 (or 28 in jeans) and the medium fit great.
