Thanks, Angie! I think it's the different-ness of it that's throwing me, but it has a sophistication that I'm starting to want for dressier occasions, which some of my other dresses lack. It's hard for me to assess new items right now, as my one mirror is broken and in a tiny, dark bathroom. I have to do something about that. (I had to go to the lobby of my building for that pic.) I'm going to try some styling options and get my husband to take pics.
The fit is very, very good. It's close to being too long for my short torso, but not quite. So it's TTS, as you said it would be. So in case anyone was wondering how the dress fits, I figured i'd post even the inferior picture.
