Very pretty, love the ruffled skirt. The beading seems to be quickly put on. I have had to refasten a couple and she hasn't worn it yet. It says machine wash and dry, but I really don't think the beads will hold up to that. I will hand wash it and line dry so more of the beads don't fall off. This was bought as a first birthday dress. I don't have time to return it for a replacement before her party, so I will just secure the beads. I used fabric glue on some of them and it seems to be holding. Again, I would not put this in the washer, all of the trim would probably fall off and that really is what I bought the dress for. She will still be stunning on her birthday though.
