I got this for my mom to have an american dress to wear at a wedding (i'm Asian, she typically wears Asian attire) and overall, the dress was great, an dit fit my mother perfectly. She was just scared that she is  "too old" to be wearing something so flashy - flashy being such a "young color" as she says - and the neckline was a lot lower for her, which she was not comfortable with. I think if it came in a darker color, she would have wanted to keep this dress, it was well made and really nice.
