The lights are RED not white, and arrive in a large clump of led strands right in the center of the skirt. I had to spend about an hour disentangling them and threading them into the mesh - they still didn't stay where I wanted them and tended to end up in a clump down the front. Also, the gold mesh on the top wasn't properly sewn into the bottom and had separated - it came out of the package this way. It's a cute outfit overall, and I let my daughter wear it anyway, but I still felt like I wasted my money. It just wasn't what I thought I was buying. The lights look nothing like they are pictured, and it is cheaply made. If I could give it zero stars I would. Don't be fooled!
