Out of the nine reviews on the Debenhams website, seven have given the dress five stars. One thrilled customer commented: "This dress has it all. Pretty back, a flattering fit, and the sleeves are a great length. The turquoise colour has the wow factor."

A second wrote: "Perfect sparkly dress. Beautiful, flattering fit - love it. Perfect for parties." A third reviewer added: "Great dress, very flattering and comfortable."

Some shoppers pointed out some minor issues with the dress, yet they still gave it a glowing five-star rating. One customer remarked: "It's perfect for a Christmas night out, although it is quite short and sometimes the sequins would get caught on the material. Other than that I absolutely loved wearing this dress. I got so many compliments."

Another shared: "Lovely dress, got so many comments. It's really Christmassy or great for a party. Sequins got caught a few times underarms, but it was ok."
