I got this dress, a skirt, the golden mushroom chain & a top & styled it for the witch season with mostly those items. It's very comfortable, just wish there was an option to turn the neckholder in regular strap holders with buttons f.e., but those changes can be easily made by myself. The construction is beautiful & the design feels both individual and versatile to be in many different styles. It certainly has a lot of character.
So back to the response from the surrounding folk, the kid approximately 2 or 3 years young, pointed at me & gleefully exclaimed: "Look mum! A witch!" Very happy with that outcome. As for other people's option, if you care for it to make decision if you purchase this fine item (i certainly don't, the kid's reaction was all i needed to feel my goal reached): colleagues & friend reacted with coments like "You look fancy", "This look has a lot of style" & "You look amazing, are you casting speels?"
