The dress was a little big, so I had it tailored. After a few minor alterations, this dress really looks polished. I got compliments on the dress all day at work. On the weekend, I grabbed the dress and still got compliments from getting groceries to pumping gas. The belt included with the dress was too big, so I paired it with another belt and it worked beautifully. I love that the dress is not overly complicated and it does stand well on its own.
