I rented this dress for New Year's and I loved it! The sequins were just the spakle I was looking for and the ruching on the side is very figure flattering. I probably should have gone down a size because it was baggy throughout the waist and hips but I wanted to make sure it would fit the top half which is usually an issue. The sequins did itch under the armpit but that's to be expected with sequins. Great dress!
