I really like this dress. I am in a 1920's wedding and it has the perfect element with very nice detailed beading. My one caution is for tall people. I am almost 5' 10" and this dress is extremely short in length on me. I do have a longer torso so this is a problem with a lot of clothing, but this was a mini skirt (see 3rd picture below). I wear a 16-18 in clothes and bought a XXL dress. I had to buy a black slip to go underneath to be able to wear the dress in public.
