Love what I ordered.  While the background IS black, the first impression is not "glitter" but "drama." There are many stripes of multicolored threads as well as intermittent strands of silver and little blots of copper, blue, etc.  You'll be able to wear it with your go-to little black dress or a sweater and jeans - it'll look terrific no matter what you wear it with. I'm looking at it as I write and it dresses up the room.
