Very pretty dress in 100% rayon, easy to care and perfect when it’s hot (nice quality fabric that drapes very well). It looks like a shift, but there are buttons in the front down to the waist, and a few pleats under the bust that make this dress very flattering. I’ve gained weight and XS has become too tight for me at the bust (I’m a 34C becoming a 34D....).Length is approx. 37”.
