I really love this dress. The reality lives up to the image i saw online and fell in love with. The top and bottom knits are slightly different, and on a tall figure, the back gets a little short. There is also an edge to the bottom of the front and sleeves that has a little bit of a silver thread running through it, that is not visible in the image, but doesn't detract in person. And, there is a little structure built into the bust so that if you are smaller on top, there is no need for a bra (which I love!)
