I got rave reviews from everybody when I wore this dress to a recent event. Complete strangers stopped me and told me I looked stunning! That has never happened before. This dress is darling! I am nearly 6 feet tall and a little long waisted. I wore a wide black elastic belt instead of the ribbon which took care of the waist hitting a little high. I had purchased two petticoats (or can-cans as we called them back when) to wear with the dress. I ended wearing just one. I also wore a cute black shrug because I wore this in January. SUPER CUTE! If I have another "dressy" function I will either wear this or buy another. A great buy, especially for the price. I have never had so many compliments!!
