This dress is absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing on. I can't wait to wear it to a wedding that I'm attending soon. The colors are beautiful. I purchased a large. I'm 5'7, 164 lbs., (36, 29, 40) and this fits perfectly. I could have gotten away with a medium but with the belt, the large is just fine and is not too tight around my butt! I always opt for modesty! :) I purchased a pair of cognac color shoes and purse to match. I'll take a picture and post once I'm all dressed up! Thank you Mae ...
