I bought this brand new at Macy's many years ago. I might have worn it once; honestly I think it was only in the dressing room. For this reason, this dress is still in beautiful condition, with no issues. If you want to project an innocent, feminine aura, this number will get you there. This garment has a very lightly padded bust, so wearing a bra under it is not necessary. Dress is fully lined. The bow in the front is tacked in place, so you never need worry about how it looks: it will always look perfect! All measurements are approximate: Across underarms: 13" Length center back: 28.25"
