Yes, the big BUT.

First, the only criticism I have of this garment: the blacks do not match.  Hem and ties on bust "black" is what I would call a "true black"; on the rest of the garment it is (pick one): cool black / bluish black / EXTREMELY dark navy.  I didn't notice the discrepancy until I put it on for the first time this morning (admittedly, I tried it on when I got it, but I flounced around for 2 min. in a lamp-lit room).  It put me off for a few minutes, and even now my eye can't help but take note of the difference.  Still, I didn't want a knee-jerk reaction to ruin this purchase, so I wore it to work and have had it on for about 6 hours now.

And I have found that I really do like this dress.  I'm a little sad because I could have liked it even more, but overall, I stand by the 4 stars.  The material itself is beautifully soft and drapes well (skirt flows nicely when walking or turning around); sleeves could be a tad bit longer, but that's more a personal preference than a genuine problem; length is great...I am 5'5" and this just brushes the top of my feet when I stand.  (Note: As a size 10/12, the S-M-L fits much better than a similar O/S version of this item that I have.)

Gorgeous item; lost a star for the colour inconsistency.  The seller, however, was prompt as usual, and I will be buying more from them as I generally love their clothing.
