    Basic and classy

    I purchased this because who doesn't need a basic black dress. I usually wear between a small and medium but I sized up and it's a bit large. I'm going to have my seamstress to take it in to fit me custom so I was ok with the larger fit. Great item to have in your closet. The right accessories will elevate it.
