This is a gorgeous dress. I tried it on and loved the smocked top and it feels appropriate for work (+ lots of other events) I got ready for work and was still feeling great and of course removed tags, and I go to walk to work. I can barely step up on a curb without feeling constricted, forget about moving at any sort of pace. I am tall with long legs and a long stride length so please take my review with all the other glowing reviews if this isn't you... Disappointing because the dress looks more casual and good for walking around the city but unfortunately the liner feels so constricting around my calves. I wish I could return this honestly but I will keep it for times when I am not in motion I guess.
