This dress was more of a sapphire blue and not the brighter intense color I was thinking it would be, nonetheless a lovely color. It has the impeccable style and fabric one would expect from Ralph Lauren's amazing fashion design sense. I find however, that padded shoulders are not right on me, it left me feeling like a linebacker in such a feminine dress, which just seems wrong. I look at the dress lovingly and admire it's beauty but it is for someone other than me. Sadly it is going back.

This dress made me feel like a million bucks! It is well-made, the fabric required no ironing even after packing it into a tiny suitcase, and it is just a classic, elegant style. I can't imagine a body style that wouldn't look great in this dress.
Love it!

the cap sleeves! I LOVE everything about this dress - the color, the wrap-style fit is SUPER flattering, except I'm a little dissapointed with the cap sleeves. I don't have fat arms but this dress sort of makes them look large. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it tho' - maybe I'll do hundreds of dumbell reps for my triceps before the wedding I got it for! BTW - my husband thought this dress rocked.
