This dress features a retro check pattern for a stylish look. The flared silhouette from the waist creates a feminine feel. The back lace-up detail adds a touch of glamour and a ladylike mood. The French sleeves are a great feature, partially covering the arms. I've worn it once. It's very cute, but it's a bit too cute for me... I'm selling it because I'd like someone else to wear it. It will be compressed for shipping.
