This evening dress is great quality. I did have it altered some because it was a bit too big in the neck which caused to flare out in the arm holes. I also had it shortened by 2 inches because it felt right at knee length and didn't look good on me. $50 in alterations, so the total cost of the evening dress wasn't great but I still like it. I am 5' 8" and 160 lbs. I ordered a size 16.
