I wasn't sure about the design - it seemed a bit old-fashioned, not in a Hollywood-glamour way, but reminded me of movie depictions of an auntie-type who's trying to recall her youthful days. :( I don't see myself wearing this to go out. It just would seem like I was trying too hard to be vavavoom and not really exercising any creativity. Maybe I'm just biased by the fabric - it feels like a rumpled t-shirt material. And, as you can see in the back photo, the elastic thing that holds the top of the 'skirt' to your waist, serves to cheapen the look of this. I would've preferred a finished waist band, hook & eye, zipper, etc. But that's just going back to the material again...t-shirt material that makes this dress contradictory in its execution. And, for $350? Lastly - I should have noticed from the model's stance - she's keeping her feet very close together. Moving in a realistic way, the front panels just part, showing the underskirt. Not sexy. Sorry.

I purchased this dress from store but wanted to comment on fit..... which is absolutely stunning! I am 5"7 128lbs ( 34D 24 waist) and an XS fit much better on me than Small. The difference between the sizes fell mostly in waist area and I found waist on small to be loose taking away from the meticulous draping of this dress! Made me fell like a greek goddess and was unbelievably comfortable. I can dress up with strappy stiletto's or down with jean jacket and sandals. I love clothing with versatility so was basically sold the second I put on! Also, I was wearing a racer back tiny strapped bra at the time and it was more or less covered by dress straps in the back.... and me being the type of girl that never goes sans bra, thats how I will wear this dress. A slight pinning in back and you would never be able to see bra so Im happy I can show off my back side and still feel supported! Beautiful Buy!!
