Oh, I hate to let this one go. It is so beautiful and a really flattering gown. I only wore it once to a black tie holiday party and it is a head turner. I got so many compliments that night. It is a purplish blue with metallic copper pattern. I am 5' 7" and wear a 10/12. It's really comfortable and not hot at all. Perfect for prom or mother of the bride. Gorgeous. Retail price at Nordstrom was $800.
