This is a really pretty dress, but it's high-maintenence - it wrinkles easily, it needed to be shortened (and I'm 5'7"), and it flutters. The fluttering is attractive and graceful on a date, but annoying if you're actually using your hands. That said, I love it, as long as I reserve it for that special night out. Its best feature - it makes ANY figure look good, because everything is adjustable. Perfect if you're trying to make a good impression - practicality isn't everything, right?
