A friend gave me this dress to sell, and it still had the dry cleaning tags on it. It is a stunning dress. There is a hidden zipper in the back with a hook and eye closure at the top. There are two pockets, one on each side, so smoothly hidden that I did not see them until I turned the dress inside out to check the inside. The fabric is extremely soft. The dress is lined. the length of the dress from the back neck to the back bottom hem is 40". P2P is 19". I also measured the line where the light tan fabric begins and straight across that line is 16.5", measuring the front only. Really a gorgeous dress! work, evening out, office, appointment
