This is a very unique dress! It feels very Grecian Goddess. The top layer is flowy but the lining underneath is very tight and fitted. It ties with included sash, or you can use your own belt. The neckline is dropped and cowled, and one shoulder has ruching. Some flaws: One of the sash cords is loose from one end - it just needs to be resewn and will be functional again. There is some underarm staining on one side. There is a pen mark on the bottom front, not noticeable unless closeup. All are noted in pictures. Was purchased used as is, so perhaps stains will come out with wash. I was able to wear this only once since I am a 6 and barely fit into it (it's a UK 8 so US 4). The color is a gorgeous muted fuchsia. Hits right about at/below the knee.
