REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"This is a figure-flattering dress structured with simplicity and elegance. I got the eggplant and will pair it with tall boots or kitten heels. It's a perfect dress to wear to the office or church. If you want to make it more retro, you could have the hem raised about six inches. However, I like this length going into winter."
