I absolutely loved this dress!!! I am 53 168 and bought a medium. It fit in all the right places. I felt so beautiful with a hint of sexy. I received compliments from everyone all night. It touched the floor but I like a gown that gives me a bit of a train. I loved the belt with it also. Many people also said how they hate lace but that I made it look absolutely fabulous in this dress. You have to get it! I might just get it in a different color for another gala.
