I purchased this dress a week ago and loved the style and simplicity however it is one that can be dressed up or down and worn to any event... It offers style and grace and class and comfort. I found JC Penny to have the best dress selection out of all the major retail stores and the best pricing. I plan to go back and look for other colors. I was however disappointed as I had a $0 coupon that was not applied and did not realize it until I had left the store. I live out of area that I purchased this in and hoping the credit dept. will give me the credit. I have been please with JCP as the sizes they carry as well as petite even as small as 2's in some slacks. I shopped my entire wardrobe there this summer based upon the petite department and sizes available Affordability was a factor also. I love JCP...
