Beautiful dress. I hesitated to spend the money, but it is well worth it. This is a beautiful, well made dress. The back panels were not overly satiny, as they appeared to me in the pictures, and that worked out great for me.Of all the baggy, loose and simply unflattering dresses out there, this one stands out. Especially if you want to show off your waistline. It fits perfectly and is very elegant. The lace is high quality and it’s feminine and understatedReally lovely dress. Lace came damaged - frayed and broken like it had been rubbing against something like a shoulder bag. Not sure if new. Can't return without further costs since travelled out of USA and will not be there before return before date. Very expensive dress bought at original price $158+7% tax with damage. Sad.Beautiful lace taupe dress, but it runs small. I'm 5'3"" a solid size 8 and it couldn't be zipped up. When you order, make sure you order 1 size up. Will be sending back.I love the fit; however the back is not lace it is satin and with the metal zipper it puckers...that was disappointing because other than that I loved itGood price for such a rich looking dress
