BEAUTIFUL and elegant. Will be wearing this to my son's wedding. It is a deep plum color and glitzy. I love the jacket because it hides a "lot".. Haha. Color looks great and it is very classy looking but seemed a bit expensive compared to other gowns in price range. I was sort of stuck, needed this color and this style for the wedding. Wish it would have been cheaper but I feel great in it so that is what matters. Very forgiving material, fits perfectly. I'm a 14 and it is a 14 gown.
