I don't see how this could be worn as a dress unless you are 4 feet tall or under. You'll need to sew the buttons on, since they fall off if you just look at them. I mean even the woman in the photo looks like she forgot to wear pants. The sleeve and "dress fabric is attached to the jacket part. The "dress" fabric is very shiny and is covered in gold swirly glitter which falls off. The jacket part is really nice though.  I ended up cutting off the "dress" and attaching my own sleeves then wearing a pirate shirt, brown leggings and knee boots.
