Wow this dress is lovely!  I am attending a wedding soon and shopped all over town to find a nice dress . . .I purchased two from a local retailer -  to the tune of $400 - one long and one short but bought this one on a whim.  It came in, I tried it on and my husband LOVED it on me.  I'm 5'3 and about 130 lbs.  The 8 fit very well and the royal blue is rich and the fabric is great.  I'm having it hemmed (who cares how much that costs when the dress was so inexpensive) and having the shoulders taken up just about a 1/2 inch - mostly to make sure they don't fall down.  It is long - taking about 4-5 inches off even with a 1" heal on my shoes.  The fabric is lovely and the wrinkles from the packaging steamed out easily.  It is low cut but not so low that I'll feel self conscious.  I would highly recommend this dress.  Only thing I wish it had is bra shoulder holders - I might add them myself - but the good news is that I can wear a regular low cut bra!  That's one of my requirements - I don't like strapless bras and really dislike halter bras.  In other good news it is washable - although I will probably hand wash and hang to dry.
