From the back, I think it looks a bit sack-like and shapeless....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

I liked it and had nothing against the back...what would you do to it to "improve" it? To me it is a lace dress which makes it ornate/embellished enough.

Well, I just don't think its very flattering. I think it makes model look thick waisted, long bodied, pear shaped and like she has shapeless legs. I think if all of those were true rather tha just one or two mild versions of the various body types she wouldn't be a model.
It might be a 'normal' woman (hate that sort of terminology, she is a normal woman, every one is) would fill the dress better because I do fine monsoon cuts to be slightly pear shaped, and someone filling it better might make it less sack-y.
I wouldn't want it fussier in the least. Just......shapelier. (I really feel like it reads like I'm being mean about the model, I'm not, I'm being mean about the dress, which I also like. I like the shape of women, I don't see why clothes celebrating women should not like the shape of women. I feel this dress is very slightly ...what's the word......dammit....misogynistic? Maybe. Maybe I mean misogynisitc,0 -

In my opinion, it looks worse in this picture - a size too big for the model?
And no, I'm not buying it for Valentines day!0 -

I don't think its too big. We're getting used to 'stretch' in fit I think! Of it has no stretch and were tighter she wouldn't be able to move her arms, for example.
It looks a good fit on her shoulder and upper body.
I really like the idea off that soft colour on a pale blonde though,0 -
Covered lace is very "In" at the moment. Front is nicer than the back.
I think navy is a dowdy colour and makes you look older. Needs to be enhanced with modern silver jewellery.
I agree, the front is much nicer than the back.
I think of navy as being a younger and uniform colour - school uniforms and similar!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I think that colour is softer and greyer than navy.
That might be my eyes and/or screen though.
Is it actually navy on others' screens?0 -

No - it says that the colour is called 'navy', but it looks as you describe it to me.0 -

I don't know. I think there was a bit of a Red Queen's Race going on as antisepsis and anesthesia became popular. Anesthesia encouraged more foolhardy operations and asepsis gradually made them more survivable.
Medicines were generally no better than placebo. Some statisticians went through the whole pharmacopeia and were quite distressed to find that virtually nothing worked.
In the Victorian era the only three medicines that were suposed to reliably treat anything were rhubarb for constipation, morphine for diarrhoea and chlorodyne as a general pick-me-up, containing chloroform and extracts of opium and cannabis.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

But , is it just me or is the view of it from the back awful? .
She could be 80 from the way she's standing.
"Elderly and frail lady in dress from behind" is how that should be titled.0 -

Why does he have a weak immune system? Is that connected with autistic issues, or is it just a random extra?
I've been as strong as an ox all my life; never ill.0
