My pictures don't do this dress justice. I wore this to a charity ball, black tie preferred. Everyone I talked to absolutely loved this dress and commented on the beautiful color. "Stunning," was the word used over and over about this dress. My measurements for comparison purposes: Bust - 36, waist - 28, hips - 38 Some tips: I'm busty, so I wasn't comfortable wearing a nu bra as recommended. I went with a corset and wore the straps (make sure there's no boning on the cups or it'll show!). The back isn't as low as the model's pic makes it seem, but you definitely need a bra that has a lower back. Also, I opted for side-swept hair so that it could take up some of the "real estate" on my chest. Black hematite dangle earrings with fringe finished it off. For jewelry, you can go with silver, dark gray, or black hematite. I would stay away from gold or diamond. The dress has a little edge to it because of the beading, so bridal jewelry might be a little too traditional. I went with silver shoes because I couldn't find a darker gray. As for sizing, I usually wear either a 6 or an 8, so I ordered both and the 8 fit perfectly.
