I purchased this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She had requested "knee length" dresses, so I assumed she didn't want anything too dressy. This is made of a knit with tone on tone sparkles in a regular pattern like polka dots. The material doesn't look cheap. There is a satin flower on the bodice with some tonal rhinestones-not too much. I was very pleased that the dress is washable. The teal color is beautiful, really rich. My granddaughter also requested something from Ghana-her other grandfather is from Ghana. I found "Rex's African Bead Shop" which had a necklace of teal color glss beads. I was able to pull up enlarged pictures of both items on my screen to compare the colors. It looked like they would coordinate. I was very pleased when the items arrived and the colors looked very well together. A very successful purchase!
