The waist has elastic. It has a bow tie design, and the neck has a button at the back. It can also be worn backwards. It's new, and I've removed the tag, but I still have it. The total length is about 150cm, but the elastic in the waist makes it ride up when worn. I'm 175cm tall, and the length hits about 7-8cm above my ankles. It might be hot in the middle of summer, but it can be worn from spring to autumn, and it seems like it could be worn in winter if you wear a sweater underneath.
