The neckline is very high. The black dress has white stitching which is much more prominent in person than in the picture. But not a problem. It is a knit dress and unlined. I will say that I will probably not use the belt. I think it looks better hanging loosely. The belt loops placed the belt well above the waist..almost an empire style. Overall, I'm pleased with the dress. I am between a 6 and an 8 sizewize. I purchased the 6 and it fits nicely.

I just received this dress today in the black and went into the restroom to try it on (get my deliveries at work)... I love it! I can't believe the quality of this dress for the price. It's got a nice weight to it, perfect for this time of the year. It'll look great with pumps or derss boots, I can't wait to wear it to work and its a great transition dress for after work functions as well.
