This dress is lovely.  I wore it to a date, but get this ladies for those of you who feel the collar is too tight try wearing it backwards.  That's right, I said backwards!  So I wore it with the vneck to the front and pinned the two lace ends of the collar inside the dress.  Oh my goodness, it made the dress super cute! I'm 5'4" and my measurements are 37-29-41. I ordered the medium and it was perfect. The dress is a little longer on me than the model.  I wore with nude Rockport high heel sandals to dress it down for dinner,  but you can wear strappy black high heels to dress it up.  My date loved it!
