Purchased a few years ago and worn only once. The waist can be adjusted by pulling on both sides of the ribbon-like area. After wearing, it was dry-cleaned and stored on a hanger in a dark place. I am selling the dress and a matching outer garment as a set. I have forgotten the exact price. I apologize. If you are looking for a dress for a wedding, class reunion, coming-of-age ceremony, etc., how about this? #dress #blue #wedding #reunion #comingofage
