Definitely an interesting, beautiful and glamorous dress, voted 'best dress of the evening' by the hostess of the holiday party I rented it for, and even my discerning designer-girlfriend agreed. I loved the color scheme and was thrilled to have perfectly matching accessories at hand. The combination of sheer and shiny fabrics with sequins works great and has a lot more class than, for example, a fully sequined stretch dress. However, the problems noted by other reviewers were accurate: the shift runs slightly small - do size up when you rent - and it is shorter than the shell (for no apparent reason, I'd consider this a design flaw), thus easily showing the bottom hem above the golden velvet of the shell. Probably fixable with some fashion tape. The shell, on the other hand, is a bit bulky and likely better for 'straight and narrow' body types than for curvier women. Nevertheless, a fun and eye-catching dress that served it's purpose 'to shine' and deserves 4 stars.
