I ordered this dress last-minute for an important, very formal event. This dress was actually my back-up option, but I ended up wearing it that night instead of my first choice (which was also terrific!). I loved the beautiful blue color, the forgiving and stretchy fabric, the flattering gather on the side, and the stylish one-arm look. This dress made for an unforgettable evening. P.S.: I am 5"5' and weigh about 115 pounds.

I ordered this dress last-minute for an important formal event. I loved it! The horizontal and vertical lines on the dress accentuate your figure, but the stretchy material and black color make for a very forgiving fit. This is a terrific, "safe" dress that strikes the balance of both conservative and flattering. Note: I am 5'5", and I ordered the 2L because that was all that was available. I was surprised that the "long" worked if I wore 3-inch heels. As a reference, I am about 115 pounds.
