The detailing is meticulous, and the pattern lovely. Be aware that the colors are more muted and not as bright as they appear in the on-line photo, but this is a beautiful dress.
The fabric is much better than the picture. It is slightly shiny like embroidery floss. This shirt is also slightly sheer/see-through, but only in bright light. I absolutely love it and so does he.
I recently bought this dress. I wore it when I went out with a friend and, she asked where I bought it; then, she immediately went to the Novica website and purchased one for herself.
I bought a duster that goes with it, too.
