It's an absolutely gorgeous dress. The lining, unlike many silk dresses, is a breathable fabric. The fit is good, I think. It could be a little looser in the bust, but it works.
My question -- is it long enough? I don't actually feel bad in it, FWIW, because it has length in the back.
What about footwear? I tried my taupe cage sandals, my old silver and nude wedges, and the black sandal booties to "Septemberize" it a bit (with jacket, too.)
What else could work? And do any of these?
