UGH this is such a beautifully perfect summer dress!!!!!!!! Front tie is just a decor bow. Side zipper at armpit. Lined. Split skirt front but has skirt and liner behind it so it doesnt "show" anything. There's a small bit of mild discoloration at the zipper top. I've included a pic. I did not try to get it out bc I didnt want to ruin it (it would be my luck). pit to pit 18 length 39 DISCLAIMER: 99% of the items listed are thrifted. Because of that, I can not verify if any alterations were made to the item. Please make sure you read through the description and ask any questions prior to purchasing. Thank you for taking the time to look through my closet!!
