I finally found a true elegant dress. The color is neutral yet pretty. The dress is versatile enough that you can wear it to a formal event or business dinner or name your place. It looks extremely classy and v-neck is neither too deep not too high. The elastic around the waist is wonderful. The size was a nice surprise. The size 18 fit me without being tight anywhere. One last remark I would make is that I am over 50, and this dress was a dream on me. Other dresses are clearly too full, too short, too glittery, or too cutesy, but this dress suits my age just perfectly.
