I feel beautiful in this dress. I stand out in it and the purple makes it feel so positive. I love the tie at the waist and the fit is perfect -- it's not too tight or too baggy. I'm a size A bust so I can't say how it would fit on someone with a larger size. I'm also 5'10" and it comes down just past the knees on me. The material feels sturdy enough and overall it's really worth it. Nothing bad to report!
