Description: Girlfriend, if you fit this dress, you have got to have it! It is made of a Medium weight cotton, which has a waffle like texture, and the dress has a side metal zip. The dress is not lined, nor does it have pockets. But it does have a unique bodice of cotton lace (which is partially lined in the same cotton as the dress). The bodice is done in a squared style, and the lining is cut to just cover your bust. The skirt is made up of tons of little pin pleats that are thin at the waist and wide at the hem. The underarms and neckline do not have any sweat stains, and the only fault I found was a couple of tiny repairs on the shoulders (I'd say from the dress hanging on a hangar for so long, it would have put stress on the delicate lace. The dress is solid in fabric and construction -- clean and ready to wear!

It was well protected by the cleaner bag, so no worries on any other faults/damage/etc. No holes in the gabardine. Don't let this beauty pass you by.
