in my opinion, the cheap plastic beads ruined this tunic, some of which were not completely painted with white clearly visible; however, they (and the netting they were sewn on) were easily removed, and now it's a beautiful (and quite hippie chic) silk tie-dyed tunic...yes, sometimes less is indeed more! minus 1 star for the cheap plastic beads, but without them, a very nice piece and overall quality garment.
