The color is perfect but like other reviewers have commented the beading is already starting to come undone. It does come with a tiny packet of beads to sew on. Thing is the beading is sewn in such a way that pulling a lose thread will unravel all the beading for a whole line. Be careful not to pull any threads. Instead check to see where the thread leads to and immediately sew it to keep it from unraveling. I think this is one of those dresses to wear once (daughter’s wedding) and give it away for someone else to have fun sewing more beads on.
