its wine colored, it definitely has that purple hue to it but it is sooooo pretty, i think its a bit just a bit big in the chest area (im a B/C cup), but its just fine. its padded and theres this strap on the inside where it snatches you uppppp. the back is similar to the neckline. get your normal size it fits regular, im a size 4 135lbs and im a medium and its fit me good, im so obsessed, if you have a little stomach you want to hide this is the dress !!!! if you have questions find me on insta @jojo._facts, so fire
