I purchased the dress as a " just because" gift for my lady. She loved it. We were out at a small gather at a friends house (formal) and she recieved many rave reviews on the dress. She was beautiful and so was the garment. She a size 10-12, she's about 5-10 and a half, portioned. The dress hid her little imperfections and she appeared to be quite comfortable in the dress. It accented the positive attributes. The dress flowed well. The only flaw I saw was the lack of a clasp at the top of the zip up back. (very MINOR) A+!!!
