This is a beautiful dress with so much detailed embroidery, beading, and just a tiny bit of sparkle from the occasional sequins. The skirt has three layers with cotton being aginst the body, then lace layer with the soft tulle overlay as top layer. The color is difficult to capture but does see to be true to lilac. Zip on side. Perfect for wedding guest and Spring/Summer celebrations. Measurements are estimates and done to the best of my ability Pit to Pit: 18" Waist: 15" Length: 43.5" Reasonable offers will be considered.
