This dress was purchased from MERCURY DUO several years ago. I wore it once for a few hours. It has been dry cleaned. It's black, but the dress is covered with a substantial chiffon, giving it a glamorous look. I think it goes especially well with pearl accessories. What might look like wrinkles in the photos is due to the shiny chiffon material. The ribbon at the waist is removable. You can tie it yourself. The neckline is a wrap style. There are two 1cm snags at the back of the waist (see photo 8). There is no problem with wearing it, and you can hide them by tying the attached ribbon. Recommended for after-parties and parties after coming-of-age ceremonies!
