Arrived in great condition, other than a few wrinkles, and looks exactly like the picture with the beaded sash. The top part is thick material but very soft. High quality dress. My daughter, who was upset about not having a pink flower girl dress, now can't wait to wear this because of how lovely it is. Ordered the size 6 and my daughter is a 5...fit is slightly big but not noticeably, and in a few months, when she needs to wear it for a wedding, it will be perfect.
