“Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make it so, right in the middle of it lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce.” - Natalie Goldberg
I have a skirt from this same brand that is cut just like the dress. I love it. Feels like pajamas. Makes me look taller...but two things to note - 1) fabric is thin and not very forgiving and 2) the fabric is definitely casual - not formal at all.
I like it, but this would look like hell on me. I think it could be formal enough for a non-black tie event on the right person with the right hair, shoes & accessories.
