Oh my, what a delight! Well, I ordered 4 of these and had to be away when they arrived; so finally got to try them on today. My first impression after opening the packages was that I’m was positively amazed at the fiber content that blends so that it hangs perfectly! That is, the garment "drapes" without being "clingy", which for so many brands seem to be an impossible feat. But these by Belaroi seem to make those features actually happen to create more of something that is simply unique (how they manage to do this is beyond me? You really have to actually try one on so you'll immediately see what I mean). Nevertheless, this ensures a perfect fit that would likely be most suitable for any figure, shape or size. The length is such that it could be worn solo, but looks even more spectacular over flowing capri-length wide pants, making a classy outfit very tasteful and comfortable. (After health issues, I desperately needed a whole new wardrobe that was affordable since very little old-stuff can be worn anymore. But these are comfortable and stylish and will last for years considering the obvious quality of their apparel – and it’s certainly is a morale booster to find something that actually fits so well! )So the 4 COLORS I got were: 1)NAVY BLUE, which is remarkably a "true rich navy", not the wimpy faded or "off-shades" of so many (uh huh) "navy" clothes I have gotten over the years. They hit it right on target with this Belaroi TRUE navy because I held it against several of my "real" navy clothes (and hats) and it is refreshingly a very good 'match'. I’d endorse this color as a good foundation item for any woman's wardrobe classic. 2) GRAYISH GREEN, of which I have never heard or seen such a color, yet figured I'd take the 'risk' as it sounded intriguing (and looked likewise to be fashionable and interesting n the photos of the listing). Admittedly uncertain about ordering this new color tone, I can really say it was a VERY good choice, however; since it is an absolutely perfect color to blend with a good number of print jackets and printed scarves – and looked even better still when I reached into the closet to pair it with dark teal pants and a matching dark teal jacket – Wow! Pleased to report and share that it really created an undeniably elegant statement. 3) DEEP GRAY is exactly as shown and aptly-named so that it’s not to be confused with anything else but is infused with a great hue that can be so versatile as to wear casually even with jeans/leggings or make for upscale dressing suitable for any event. It’s not pale and sketchy-looking in shading, but DEEP as stated – and yet not so ‘deep and dark’ that the color gets lost and looks ‘too black-ish’ like some clothing that is ‘dark gray’. No, this particular gray can honestly stand alone and is undeniably GRAY that, to explain, also has the benefit of not being so thin and pale to require having to wear a cami underneath (as with all of the colors I got from this maker, since the fabric quality is not too sheer like some similar items I’ve sadly experienced when I’ve ordered from other makers over the years). 4) PINK. Well, pink can mean so many things to so many people when there’s a decision to be made for any such purchase. Something that I could have gotten nervous about ordering, with having received the whole gamut with assorted ranges of a myriad of items from other places in the past from sellers that were touted as “pink” but actually turned out to be either neon-ish (hot pink or garish looking) in reality, ugh. Or else ended up receiving new items with that old dull “washed-out” pale pinks that were totally undetectable from any reasonable distance……including all the way to the usual colors of bubblegum or even dirty old faded bunny slippers. But Whoa! Yes! This particular PINK is one that I will wear quite often – not only for the fit and feel, but the color PINK (as shown)! And I am making time to share that I feel it’s important to say that I can attest that the color on my screen-monitor did look exactly like the color of the Belaroi dress I received. Just extraordinary on its own; as well as perfect to go along with florals, and absolutely marvelous worn with another solid color for shoes, jackets, pants, even caps/hats. In summary of this color, even for those who do not normally wear pink tones, it is a great addition to get for the pure shade looks better than I’d envisioned! Just beautiful!I had wanted to order more of these and hoped to get them all; but it appears now that the price has somehow oddly increased, so I don’t know how these things work but that is a serious drawback to my meager budget. Nevertheless, I unhesitatingly do encourage any buyer to not hesitate on this item as it is something that I’d definitely rate with 10 stars if it were even possible – for the fit, the fabric, the true-to-sizing, the truth-in-coloring. I just took a photo of all 4 colors I got in hope that it sincerely helps to show better what I intended to share by writing this - so that perhaps it will help somebody reading this. :)
