I have ordered this dress in both red and black now. It is by far one of the best purchases I have made. I pair it with a dangling choker and get compliments on the outfit all the time. Due to motherhood and a back problem, I have gained considerable weight and the compliments are quit a rarity for me these days--so is finding a dress that hugs my curves without accentuating my tummy and thighs. It can be dressed up or down. Don't hesitate--buy this dress!!! I know I'll be buying more.
