My daughter selected this dress in gold for a Great Gatsby party and is very happy!  Keep in mind that the photo shows the dress with all of the fringe hanging down. In real life, movement exposes the sequins underneath, and the gold of the sequins is darker than the fringe, as shown in the smaller photo. While the overall effect shows more sequins and flash than expected, it works! The diagonal fringe gives it better movement than similar dresses with the fringe sewn on straight.  The price was less than thirty-four dollars, which I found reasonable. Such a fun dress! I am sure she will find other occasions to wear it - a costume party, or just for fun. Very pleased with the purchase.
