The beading on the bodice is gorgeous in person. However, the navy blue is a shade darker than it looked on my iPad, almost looking black indoors. The zipper is also a bit stiff at the waist seam, so my husband had to help me carefully pull it up. Still wearing it though!

The dress is elegant and the beading is sewn on really well. I do have to admit though, it gets a bit tight around the thighs when I sit down. I ordered my usual size, but sizing up might have been better for staying comfortable during the reception. Still, it looks stunning.

Fits like a glove! The elastic satin gives just enough stretch to be comfortable after dinner.

I was on the fence about the color, but in natural light it's gorgeous—super bright and really flatters my skin tone. The fabric is breathable; I didn't sweat at all even though I was nervous. The sleeves are just a tad long on me, but it's no big deal.

Absolutely beautiful beading. Got so many compliments from my family. Highly recommend!
