The construction of the dress is great; the shape is very flattering. However, the gold tones are very obvious. Based on the images shown, I had expected something more subtle (more black than metallic), or at least something more bronze than gold. It is almost, dare I say, glittery. I do love the dress' shape, but I will not be wearing it during daylight if I want to escape the glitter. As for the material, while it has elasticity and works well with the form of the dress, the metal fibers woven into the fabric definitely take away from the overall feel of it. The metal gives the dress a very rough texture, which I find off-putting on something with such a snug fit. Bottom line: Love the shape, hate the metallic.

Pros: Well made, Appearance
This dress fits very well! Fabric is substantial, with a bit of give, but doesn't cling in any "wrong" ways. Not too low cut, and hits right at the knee. Material is a little scratchy (I guess due to the metallic thread throughout), but not unbearable. Can't wait to wear this dress out!

Cute... but itchy!
Date:November 28, 2011
Pros: Style, Great look, Appearance, Design
Cons: Uncomfortable
This dress is pretty and fits like a glove, but the metallic version is SO itchy against the skin. You will need a very tight, fitted slip to wear this.
