I had my eye on this dress for ages and finally had an event I needed a warmer dress for (February wedding in Michigan) and this was it!! Complete strangers complimented me on my dress all night and I felt beautiful, like an absolute princess. Worth every single penny. It is a very thick dress, so I wouldn't want to wear it on a hot day, but it was perfect for a chilly day. I do want to note that I had to add a snap towards the bottom of the V neckline because the V was so deep my bra was showing all the way down at the bottom between my breasts. A safety pin would suffice as well. I'm not overly modest, but it was so low it felt inappropriate without the slight modification . True to size, would recommend buying based on waist and not hip measurements. Perfect dress.
