This is a black formal dress. The size is M, and the length is below the knee. The bolero-style lace top is not removable, but the ribbon is detachable. It's cute to tie the ribbon in a bow in the front and let it hang down. The skirt is a three-layered chiffon skirt that moves lightly and flares out softly. It was only worn once as formal wear and has been dry cleaned.
