The dress fabric is pretty, but too big. Because it is so stretchy, I should have gone by my hip size and let the top stretch to fit instead of going by bust size.Bought this dress for a wedding. The dress is beautiful and very comfortable. The color is a perfect navy blue. It has shimmer and it fits and looks beautiful. All my family and friends loved it. Can’t wait to wear it to the wedding.This dress is really pretty but it's really dark, dark navy. When it arrived, I literally thought it was black! I think someone may have tried this dress & returned it before me. One of the interior satin ribbons (used on hangers) was not attached and was frayed more than an inch. Not a deal breaker just not expected. The fit was really nice and the dress was well made; very slimming! The length would have been perfect with 2-3" heels. I bought this dress to wear at a formal wedding and, while lovely, I simply cannot justify spending this much on a dress I will wear for 4 hours. If you attend lots of formal gatherings, go on cruises, etc., this would be well worth the money. It's just not in my budget to keep it.
