This dress is simply so elegant. I had to buy a 2XL as it was the only size left, I am normally a XL so had to get the dress altered. I saw it and had to have it. The dress has more shimmer in it than the photo, but the nude / pink matches the photo throughout the day. At night, when your under the lights, looks like a champagne colour however still stunning. I am 6 foot tall so the length was perfect. The split comes up to a perfect height of my leg and I kept the shoulder pad in :) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress, and great, stretch material !
