Wanted to love this...and I mostly did.
It's a beautiful dress, but I was glad I wore it with some black silk pants since it's pretty short (which some people might love - just not me). Also, I ended up stitching the sleeves closed because I wasn't into the batwing look (but others might be - I wanted to be warm and exposed arms wouldn't allow for that). The quality of the dress is very high - no sequins falling off, and a comfortably weighty feel due to substantial double layer silk and sequin construction. Overall, I was pleased with the dress once I made my few, personal adjustments.
