I just got the dress and meets all expectations. I thought the material would be lighter when I ordered it, but it's rather heavy, which is not a bad thing at all. The dress is well made, the color is as described and as seen in the pictures. From other reviews I thought the dress would be about 2 in. longer. I am 5'5" and the dress it just under my kneecap. I wouldn't  have minded an inch or two longer, but even as it is now, the dress can be called "classic elegance".
