Gabriela Floral Dress

This dress is gorgeous. The fabric is beautiful, fully lined, and drapes really well. I bought it for a fall wedding in the Carolinas and it will be perfect for the occasion. One important note: although the description says the dress is black, it’s actually a deep chocolate brown. The darker background complements the floral pattern beautifully. I saw this dress in my local store rather than online, and would have been disappointed if I were expecting true black although I'm sure that a black shoe/accessories could potentially work. The cut is very forgiving for us pear-shaped gals—it flatters the top and disguises the hips nicely. If you have a larger chest, though, be aware that the top portion runs a bit snug since it’s fitted through the waistline. The fabric does have a bit of stretch in it, however.
