“I loved walking through the crowd and everyone stopping and staring and smiling at me. Plus all the wonderful compliments I receieved, it made me feel very beautiful especially since this was our first outing since I had a major surgery a month before. Also because I felt very classy and know that I looked amazing for my Husband.”

I ordered this dress for my Husband's 237th Army Birthday Ball since he had just gotten 'Soldier of the Year' and we found out a week before the ball that we were going. Very short notice! I was nervous about finding a dress long enough for me since I am 5'11". I went shopping before the dress arrived to buy shoes, earrings and clutch. I bought gold but once the dress arrived it was so long that I could actually wear heels higher than 1" and not only that the dress isn't gold. It is more of a peach color, so I took the accessories back and got lucky and found a clutch the exact color of the dress and great chandelier earrings and shoes. It is absolutely beautiful in person and the lining is so comfortable so you don't feel any sequins around your underarms like cheaper sequin dresses. I was stopped literally every 2 minutes by women and couples telling me how beautiful I looked and how much they loved my dress and the styling along with it. I was definitely the best dressed. I would recommend this for any formal event, very comfortable and you can wear a regular bra too.
