I got this in ivory and it is a true ivory & not as white as the photo shows. The beading has a silver tone & some ivory-colored sequins. This is a beautiful dress. It's heavy because of the beading, but feels so comfortable on. Not itchy. The only "con" I found is that the back neckline is just a tad high so it sits on my necklace chain in the back. This is fully lined so you don't have to worry about see thru. Just a simple slip will keep it slick & flowy so won't tend to creep up if a little too close-fitting. I have enough room so not too concerned about that even with my full hips. This fits true to size, I generally wear a 20 or 1X, so got this in 22 Plus since dresses can run a little smaller. The cut of this dress & the length of the top part hits just perfect for a larger size woman & doesn't accentuate any bumps or bulges. The sleeves are long enough to hide the bulky bicep area. It is a little long, but can be remedied if I wear a minimum of 2" heel. I was so excited when I opened the package to see this quality dress! Bonus that it fits so well.Beautiful high-quality and flattering… This is a very lovely dress made a very nice material. I thought that the way it has a wrap style was very flattering. I was trying to find a dress for my son’s wedding and I ended up going with something different but this was as a nice of quality as the ones I saw in the fancy department stores. I would definitely recommend this dress!
