I was once told that a ‘tulip’ style skirt is very flattering for my body shape, so this dress caught my eye. The material is a nice weight and the length is perfect - for me mid-calf. True to size, I went for Medium. I usually wear a 12 or 14 depending on the make. The straps are a good width and the neckline flattering. With suntanned shoulders I would wear the dress as it is, but I can also wear it with a black, sheer top which covers my arms. I’m very pleased with this dress and look forward to wearing it. I think it will be a perfect LBD in my wardrobe for a long time.
