What a joyous addition this dress is to my closet! =D The satin is of exceptional quality and has a sheen that looks even more gorgeous up close than in the photos. My fit was as indicated in the size guide but provides just a teensy bit of wiggle room to ensure optimal comfort, it has a nice snug, comfortable fit that hugs my silhouette, and it is also a very versatile dress that I could just as readily wear to a trendy nightclub as I could to a little black dress party or even on an exotic vacation. =) Please do yourself a favor and add this essential to your wardrobe as well! It's a must! =)DJGibigiana
