This dress is gorgeous and I absolutely loved the beautiful beadwork. As other reviewers have mentioned, the dress consists of two pieces -- the greenish blue slip and the beaded overlay. The slip which zips at the side was much more form fitting than the overlay and if it had been any smaller, I would've had a hard time zipping it up. The overlay is larger as it's a simple sheath so there's not any definition at the bust or waist. Some other reviewers have mentioned that they found the gold band at the bottom to look cheap but it didn't bother me at all. I did wear the dress to a fancy dress 1920s party so maybe I was more lenient with the overall look because it was intended as a costume. The slip is shorter than the sheath although the straps on the slip are adjustable so I could have increased the length but then the front would have been too low cut for me. This dress was perfect for a fun New Year's Eve on the town. I loved wearing it and I felt so much more party-ready and confident than if I'd tried to make something from my own closet work. I got so many compliments on this dress — a lady even stopped by our table at dinner just to say how much she loved it — and everyone wanted to know where it was from so RTR might have a few more customers after my rave reviews of the site. I'd never ordered from RTR before so when we got last minute tickets for a Roaring Twenties NYE party, I checked out out the site and thought this dress was perfect but a bit pricey. Luckily, when I checked the site again, there was a NYE 50% off deal so I couldn't resist. I ordered on Friday and the dress arrived before noon on Monday. I loved the thoughtful touches of the party hats, fit kit and tote bag. The return process was so simple. It was a great experience all around and I'll definitely check out RTR for any future special occasion needs.
