Initially, I loved this dress. There is a high split in the middle, but I have never had issues with it while walking. When I sit down, I have to be careful that it does not rise up too much. I gave this dress 1 star because the dye runs. I tried washing it a few times to see if that helped, but by the end of the day I had black dye on my upper body and undergarments. This dress must not have been dyed properly. It is a shame because it is such a cute dress otherwise.
