I purchased this dress to wear for a Holiday Mixer for my 30 year Class Reunion. It did NOT disappoint. I’m 5’3” and 175lb, the dress does not lays perfectly and does not ride, unless you’re sitting of course. The color is not, Black…yet BEAUTIFUL…it’s more is a metallic color that pulls (Wine, Green & Black). You WON’T be sorry! 🥂
