This dress is pretty, but does not look exactly like the picture. I had to have a gold and silver gown for the stage, and after adding a lot of silver embellishments it will get the job done. It is not gold as pictured, the dress is ivory with gold accents. It is a pretty dress and is pretty good quality. The zipper is a little tricky, but as long as the corset top is tied first the zipper works. It is the right shape, and will some accessories, it is a great dress.
