I used this once for a wedding and funeral. I needed it suddenly, and it was difficult to find a matching set. I remember buying it for a considerable price. The color of the dress is black. The white top is off-white, not pure white. Since the white top and dress are separate, I think you can wear them with your everyday clothes. My relatives also said it was cute. It's good to have one for weddings, entrance ceremonies, and graduations♪
