No instructions, I had to look at the pictures and spent about 30 min trying to figure out how to put it on. It was also heavily tangled and tarnished. I'm a heavy girl and after reading other reviews wasn't expecting it to fit around my waist.

Once I got it laid out correctly to put it on i added an 18 in chain to the bottom part then put it on. It would have looked weird with just a bathing suit but under a dress as I intended it looked sexy and stunning (So I still gave 4 stars) I'm a size 16 and with the extra 18 inches it fit around my waist with room for me to sit without pulling. So you've got to be pretty thin not to need some extra room. I still think it's worth it.
