I got this in the pale pink (ballet pink) and the other in what I call NAVY blue.
The dye in the navy blue didn't quite permeate all the beautiful embroidery. So I took some India ink and
a q-tip and went over all the details. I let it dry in the sun, inside out so that the rest of the dress wouldn't fade.
It'll be fine but I don't plan to wash the blue one very often. but it's beautiful. Too bad they don't catch these things
before they send them out.
The neckline is fine, not too low as others have described here. I'm 5'7", and the length is perfect. I'm 38 on top,
and the bust fits fine. No complaints about fit. Only the complaint about the blue dye just not getting all the way
thru the fine embroidery.
Also, I might add, this dress does NOT look "goth" to me. It's a nice dress and a shorty-bolero type cover on top would
look nice.
The pale pink is stunning! A real keeper!
