I bought this for an event, and when it arrived, i realized it was probably too dressy for my event. there are some large sparkly clusters of "stones" that are beautiful, but do make the dress more cocktail attire than i needed. if i had something to wear it to, i would keep it in a heartbeat. the fit is flattering and the quality is reminiscent of old school retailer pieces. there are cups already in the bodice, which is a huge plus imo. it's unique and beautiful!
