This black velour dress has embossing on it as pictured with spider webs and skulls which is pretty subtle The long ribbon in the front is part of lacing at the bust and is just adorable. Worn one time. This would be a great dress for a witch costume or whatever because you will be about the only one that knows about the Goth part because it's subtle The sleeves are peasant blouse style without elastic The dress is 93% polyester 7% Spandex Spandex gives it some stretching Has pockets 32 inches Pit to Pit 42 inches from top of shoulder to hem (midi) Our home is smoke-free and cat friendly but the room the clothes are stored in is a no-cat zone Happy to launder into a bag for allergies
