Really nice dress, color was the same as the picture and the cut was to be expected as well. The fabric was thick and a great quality, especially for the price, very pleased with the quality of the dress itself. Great dress for a fall/winter event...in this case a wedding. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of a few things:
1. Heavy fabric is great,  but it causes the skirt to pull the waistline down constantly (supposed to be empire waist) I had to keep pulling it up all day, could be fixed with a nice belt but I didn't have time to get one for this occasion.
2. The top is cut VERY low. I had to keep the girls from spilling out, two-sided tape or a cute cami underneath would have fixed this but again, didn't have time to shop for those items this time.
3. It made me look pregnant. This dress would be AMAZING as a maternity dress, if your bigger around the waistline like me, it will make that stand out, especially from a side view. It actually will make you look bigger in the midsection than you actually are unfortunately.
4. The sizing is a bit large,  I bought an XL, I'm 5'6 about 210 pounds and I liked it being lose, but could have worn a large comfortably.
Other than that, I wore the dress all day, with wedge shoes and with flats and I was pleased with the length, I got lots of compliments.  Overall, really great dress for under  $50
