Im so glad I purchased this dress. The color is a soft, almost light purple-y color, and looks really pretty and feminine. The embroidery around the collar is lovely. The fit is just right, as well. I have NEVER had a complaint regarding the quality of any dress I've purchased from April Cornell, and this one is no exception. Quality = outstanding. I will be wearing this dress, a lot!

So comfy!

This dress is soft and comfy! Good quality with sewn in slip. Fit me perfectly - size L. I’m 5’6, 165lbs. I love the design of the neckline - I have had double mastectomy without reconstruction and it’s difficult to find flattering dresses. This was perfect!

Lovely in amethyst

This is such a classic April Cornell design: the layers of soft fabric, the flow in the skirt, the embroidered collar. I love the way the skirt moves, and the color is perfect, pretty true to the photos and even a little darker.
As a busty woman, I HATE the bodice seam--it doesn't sit correctly on me and makes the dress immediately under the seam lie oddly. The back ties help somewhat, and I love the dress so much otherwise that I'm keeping it, but other busty folk should be aware.
