It has a glamorous feel, so it can be worn to parties or for casual outings. I bought it for that purpose, but I've only worn it once and it's been sitting in my closet ever since. I think it can be worn throughout the year. Waist 68cm, Length 59cm. It's labeled as size 2, but I believe it's practically an M size. The fabric has a good body to it. Is it taffeta? *The belt is detachable.
