I actually wore this to work, but it can definitely be day or night. First of all, the colors of the fabric are divine! I gave the purple and gold one, the dress had me feeling confident and bold! It has a good amount of stretch, but the fabric really does hold its shape well. The only “negative” is that it is kinda long, so if you’re short, it might hit your leg in a weird place. I’m 5’8 and normally a 22, and it fit me great. Actually I thought of another “negative”, it has a long zipper in the back and while I was able to get it zipped up by myself, it did require a lot of maneuvering. But I think that long zipper allows for your hips to get into the dress with feeling like it’s being stretched out. Again 5 out of 5. Get the dress!
