Conservative but bold. This is a confidence boost without even trying. I have the same dress in my size (and love it!!), but could not return this one it was passed the return window. The attached belt can be tied in the front or the back, so have fun with that! ;) The dress goes below my knee (I'm 5'3") and has a form fit without the snug body hug. It's perfect for any event, really... work, holiday, wedding, office party, etc. The material is too substantial for summer, but THE dress you want for fall and winter. Original price was $180
