The dress is in amazing shape! No stains, odors, or tears. One thing to note is one of the straps looks like the seam is coming undone a bit or like it had a hand-sewn repair done, you can not see the sewing while wearing it as it's on the underside but it is pictured so you know what expect, it doesn't affect wear but may need reinforcing. The skirt is lined, and the bodice fabric is doubled.

One of the best features is the cross-back straps, it didn't fit my mannequin so I put it on for a few shots.

Note that the zipper works fine, it just did not fit my mannequin.

Measurements are taken from outside, flat and stretched from seam to seam. This is the maximum size allowable, so please consider individual fit and comfort. Double Waist and Bust for the total measurement.
