This dress is so unique and show stopping. My daughter can’t wait to wear it on her special day. The colors are vibrant and it’s very well made, looks like a lot more than it costs. Belt is not an issue for us as some mentioned, it’s a satin sash, and I like that you can choose not to wear it and there are no loops. It stays on my daughter just fine but if I needed to I would tack it on with a stitch or 2 or some snaps. I did size down as was recommended by other reviews and it fits perfectly with room to grow.
