I LOVE this dress, especially because of the detail at the bottom. It looks great with jeans, tights or leggings and boots. My only issue is that the knit is very chunky, which takes away from the dress as a more formal item, which the velvet and lace at the bottom would suggest. That said, I think it will look great over a long-sleeved black top, with jeans and boots. And the price was right!
