I have an evening cocktail for Great Gatsby work and chose this dress based on the price and reviews. It arrived quickly after major purchases and was packaged in a resealable zip. Bag. I took it out of my pocket, checked the smell and was glad it wasn't there. The color is richer than I thought, it's dark beige with bronze accents. Then I noticed that the entire icing on the dress is beaded and very pretty! I thought it would be embroidered with some sequences for detail, but this is a beautiful (not heavy) beadwork! There is a side zip for easy dressing but I didn't see it and pulled the dress over my head. The cost allowed it, although I will use a zipper in the future. I'm 5ft 2" and usually wear a small. The measurements implied I might need a medium, so I took a chance, but I'm not disappointed. The dress fits exactly how I want it. The fabric has a little stretch and the beads add weight, but the result is a comfortable and fitted garment. The neckline is feminine but understated, the sleeves also add an attractive aesthetic and are unique. The hem of the jumpsuit goes above the knee, but not too far. The fringes hit a spot that allows movement and doesn't get in the way. All in all this is a beautiful dress and I would love to wear it to an event. That being said, there is a wrong colored bead on the front, some of the tassels weren't cut properly, loose threads are visible and the overall finishing of the dress is not of the quality I was hoping for, hence 4 stars. Maybe I'm the only one who noticed the bead and I trimmed the tassels and loose threads. This is a very beautiful and practical dress. With a little more attention to detail it could have been so much better. Having just completed the event, I can say that the dress was like that! My colleagues didn't recognize me, they thought I was one of the guests. Everyone praised the dress and I stood out because I wasn't wearing black like almost everyone else. I could move freely to dance and I felt humbled and warm enough. The sleeve design didn't overheat me, but when I was cold it didn't irritate me.
