This is a very lovely dress. It's a rare black color, and I imagine many people are looking for a maxi length like this. The fabric flares out towards the hem, giving it a cute look, and the vertical lines make you look taller and slimmer＾＾ The glimpses of skin through the mesh are also wonderful. It's of course cute to wear it as is, but the good point is that you can create gathers by tying the strings at the waist and neckline, allowing for various ways to enjoy it. As this is a vintage item, there may be some minor imperfections, such as the strings for the gathers becoming whitish. Please only purchase if you are accustomed to vintage items.
