The dress is everything, sexy but yet classy. However, it does run somewhat big. I'm 5"7 212, 40 DD & XL was a tad looser than I wanted it, it wasn't hugging these curves the way i needed it too hunni!!! There are pads in the breast area, just FYI. The arms are loose (big), so if you have bigger arms like me, no worries with this dress, material is a little thick but not hot, it's definitely giving diva, body shaper was not noticeable in this dress as well. I will be returning it for a large. I hope this helps ladies.

I wore this dress this weekend as one of my birthday dresses and it was beautiful for the upscale lounge that we went to. It is a beautiful stretch velvet with subtle pearls throughout. I wore mine slightly off the shoulders and it fit great. The mauve color is just like on the picture. I'm 5'4, 167 lbs and the large fit me great.
