Not only my husband gave me compliments on my choice but had people stopping me to let me know how beautiful this dress fit me.  I was looking for a good, expensive looking dress for a wedding (husband's ex-coworker daughter) didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars as I did before for a dress that was going to be worn once or twice, But with this, I hit it a home run.
I will start by sizing ( very important ) I got a Large, I am 5 '2" and 137 curvy pounds, this dress has an inside stretch  and smooth lining in blue and a stretchy sequin outer layer, easy to hug your cubs, the electric blue doesn't scream with the black sequence layer, it won't make a dent in the wallet, more important you will feel like a million!!!! FYI I did not see one sequence on the floor, is very well made and for short people ( i wore 4.5-inch heels) I was able to trim the dress with just sizzors
The only CON to the dress is that as the evening went on ( 7 hours later of wedding non stop dancingand after party ), the sequins became a bit itchy under my arms, but nothing unbeareable, but could see the red of the rubbing.  I still gave the dress 5 stars because no event goes 7 hrs and consider the prize , quality and looks, You will want to get more
