Loved this dress ... it was a bit long for my 5'2" frame, but because of the full skirt, it looked great with heels. The color is striking - a deep, lush blue.  Great worksmanship.  I am 145 pounds and the 16P was just right.  (I could have worn a 14P but I put comfort above everything else.)  So why is this all in past tense?  I learned the bridesmaids were wearing the exact same color, so I had to return it.  A little too pricey to hang in the closet on the chance I'll wear it later.
