this dress is absolutely gorgeous in person. i got the navy blue and it's such a rich color. the lace is double sided (gold outside/silver inside) which makes it pop that much more, and the silky lining inside + elastic back + the lace up + the fact you can adjust the neck easily as well... it's seriously one of the nicest dresses ive gotten for myself in a long time. would recommend to anyone, especially with the matching cape!!
