This dress is EVERYTHING. Idk why the other reviews are bashing it, but it's giving main event energy and that's exactly what's it's going to be for my 40th event close our dress. It's long, it's shimmery, and yes, it has some weight to it. Does not look cheap at all! The halter area is a little big and you have to wear the right bra and good shapewear. It is fitted in the waist but not too much that it looks unflattering. If you like this dress and want to get it but have a little tummy, size up! All in all, can't wait to wear it.
