it's nice quality and very gorgeous! the lace is pretty and the fabric is nice. but, the lace can be uncomfortable rubbing against the skin while moving around. i have a few problems: it's hard to put on by yourself since there's many strings and ribbons that need to be tied together. the big bow on the back is also hard to keep in place since they only give you a small pin. the red ribbons are a little complicated to tie onto the sleeves. for me, it was a little bit tough tying all of the ribbons in the back by myself. one of my biggest complaints is that the dress is very short. it fits very well, but it just barely covers my butt. i was planning on wearing this to a con, but i'm wary of it now. i purchased an underskirt that should fix it, but it can still be kind of uncomfy to wear and sit down in.
