I bought this dress for my 5 year old's father/daughter dance at school. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is a nice formal dress that has a full and fluffy tulle skirt with beautiful gold sparkles on it. To me, the fact that this dress has a surplice v neck top on it makes it look so elegant and unique from the typical A-line dresses.It also comes with a rhinestone broch that is onto the silk belt that I removed because she wore all rhinestone shoes and it was a little much. It is very pretty though and just clips on like a safety pin. I ordered a size 6 and I believe it is a true size 6, my daughter is between a 6 and 7 so it fit her well, but if you are buying in advance may want to buy a size up. It was tea length on her, she just felt like a princess! This would be gorgeous for a wedding or any formal event. The gold sparkles do come off easily, of course that didn't bother her at all. Just something to take into consideration. It did arrive a little bit wrinkled, but I hung it up and by the time she wore it four days later all of the wrinkles were gone. I love this dress, it looks very elegant, is great quality and most of all my daughter looked gorgeous in it!
