Because of the reduced price, I got this dress in both the black/royal/multi and the black/red/multi, and I just couldn't be happier with it. There are so many lovely shades in either dress that your mixing and matching possibilities with shoes and handbags are almost endless. So, these get five stars for being versatile.
I am 5'5, and this dress falls to below my knees, but it isn't too long. It is soft to the touch, and very pretty. Although it is certainly not a formal piece, with a great pair of heels and the right updo, this is fancy enough to wear to a cocktail hour, or over to a friend's for dressy-casual dinner. Actually, with the heels and updo combo, that will make a dress like this "dressy-casual plus one". So, if you are dressing to impress but very much don't want to give the impression that you're TRYING to impress, then this just might be the dress for you.
These both are fun, flirty, feminine and elegant, and a little sexy too. I give them five stars.
