this is a two piece ball gown with the bodice being 20 " pit to pit. it has hook in eye in the back to fasten. The skirt is 44" long and 34 waist with a bit of room to adjust up or down an inch or two. I took the elastic out of sleeves to make them a pagoda style but never got around to ironing it. you can put elastic back in easy enough in two places on each sleeve if you like. Or Iron and add an under sleeves for a great look. come with a cute matching bag.
