Simple, elegant, comfortable dress.
This is a very well-made and comfortable option for a black-tie affair. Definitely not flashy -- it needs some sparkle to make it work as a formal dress. I opted for crystal earrings and a silver Art Deco choker, which helped. I am usually a 4 or 6. The 4L fit just fine, but I went with the 6L because the dress tended to bunch a bit at the waist and the slightly larger size helped it fall straight. The neckline detail is beautiful.

Nice dress. Didn't wear it.
The fit was true to size, and it's a beautiful dress. However, this dress is not for the long-waisted. The ruffles started well above my hips and were not flattering. The tulle ruffling is also much more pronounced than you can tell from the photographs. It's more a prom-type dress than something for an adult formal affair. I ended up not wearing it.
