I wore this dress for a showcase performance of a Viennese waltz and just loved it. It had just the right romantic feel for the dance and I got many compliments on it. There is elastic in the hem to weight it so it moves really beautifully with all the turns. The saws of fabric in front and back around the neck are a very nice touch. The fabric is very comfortable. The dress washes well by hand, dries quickly, and doesn’t wrinkle. The skirt flares out from the hip, not from the waist, so give some thought to the undergarments you’ll wear with it to avoid lines! Also, you may want to dye any bodyshaper you wear with it to be close to your skin tone so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing white undies.
