This dress looks as good in person as it does in the photo. it has a small train, which I didn't expect, but the tailoring and construction were solid. The inner lining and outer layer of tulle provided great protection from being scratched by the sequins. The sequined fabric is sparkly and the sequins are closely spaced so the twinkly effect is gorgeous. my only issue is the lining fabric is made of a slightly fuzzy polyester knit that reminded me of kids pajamas. it made the dress quite warm, but maybe for you that's a good thing. I guess it gives a tiny bit of cushion from the boning in the bodice. Overall very pleased and would buy from shopluu again.
