This dress features lace. I am 164cm tall, and it falls just above my knees. I think it would look good on someone a bit shorter as well. I purchased it about 10 years ago from an authorized retailer and wore it about three times to weddings. It has been dry-cleaned. This is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. The ribbon belt is removable. By accentuating the waist, it creates a more fitted style. - Color: Black - Material: Silk - Accessories: Ribbon belt - Brand: Sov.
