Cannot describe the love I have for this dress. The material is flattering, the cut is exquisite, the details are arresting. The 40 is a true size 4 with a little bit of give all over. I wore this dress twice - once to work and once to a nice dinner out. For work I wore a slip underneath to downplay the slit, but for the dinner I let my thigh do the talking. The neckline is absolutely beautiful, it's a boatneck but is cut slighly forward so you can see the point that it comes to on the shoulders. The fabric has the slightest textured sheen to it, and the color is a very deep navy.

The dress is beautiful and so classy. I wore it to work, but it would work for many occasions. Lots of compliments and I felt great! understated and stylish

tons of compliments at the conference.

i was super disappointed in the fit of this dress because otherwise it was super cute. i ordered the size 40 and the dress fit great everywhere but the arms. the arm holes were so tiny i could not move when i did barely got my arms through. do italian women have abnormally tiny arms? i do not recommend this dress for anyone without super slender arms.

Roomy in the thigh region and well fitted up top. Perfect for a pear shaped person such as myself.

Fit was true to size. For women with a larger bust, it does a great job of cinching your waste and showing off curves without looking matronly.
