This dress is lovely! It fits beautifully, is flattering and attractive. The empire waist is very figure flattering and forgiving. If you have a few extra curves around your middle, this will hide them nicely.The neckline works very well for me. I like the v-neck. I'm 5'4\" and wear a size 12 and the size large works great for me. The colorful, abstract pattern is perfect for a spring event. This would be great to where at a wedding. It's just so easy to ear. I'm looking forward to finding the right occasion to where this.
