The color is so vivid and it fits so well! I have a very curvy slim figure, so dresses that flatter me are hard to find! This dress fits my curves and makes me look slender without battling with modesty:) The ONLY problem i have with this dress occurs when it's windy. I live in a deserty state with little or no weather, so I rarely have this problem, but one day it was a little windy and the wind kept unwrapping my dress! My advice, carry a safety pin or only purchase if you live in southern Arizona or other places where you rarely stumble across wind. Besides that small issue, I LOVE this wonderful dress!
