Ended up not wearing this - the lining showed, it was overall too worn out or misshapen to work unfortunately. Also, at 5'3, it was longer than I had hoped (almost down to knees). Ended up wearing the strapless version instead, which worked great and was shorter.

This was a gorgeous color - very pretty dress. I have broad shoulders, so was afraid the cut of the straps would make me look like Michael Phelps, but luckily it was fairly flattering. Overall for an athletic body type with broad shoulders, the strapless Herves are more flattering, but this color was just great and had a little more cleavage than you'd see in the strapless, so it was a fun change.

Wore this in South Beach Miami to the clubs - such a head turner. Nothing like shiny things to draw a guy's attention. I am brunette, and dark hair really popped against the gold. Of course the sequins were itchy under the arm. Only fit issue was that under the left arm, the material sagged a bit because it wasn't skin tight and heavy. Ended up having to safety pin the top edge to my bra to keep my bra from showing. Not quite tight enough to go braless.

Rented this after seeing it on my friend at her birthday. Fit like a glove, gorgeous color. Great on both my very athletic body as it was on my friend's very curvy body.

Turned a lot of heads in this dress, it is gorgeous, especially with platform heels.
