This dress was great! The sizes for Lulus actually goes by Small, Med, Large, so I had a large in this dress. I have a broad back and chest due to being a swimmer, so smaller sizes don't zip up my back! It has been slighly altered (just hemmed). I'm 5', 8", so it wasn't hemmed much since I wore heels. It did not get dirty. I liked it because it was simple in the front, and the lace added some detail in the back.
