I've been coveting this piece for years but it's time to accept I'm just too short for it! I'm 5'2 and it hits awkwardly below my knees. I never wore this out since I intended to get it altered and never got around to it. Beautiful, shiny, stretchy, HAS POCKETS, only ever been tried on. There is a small flaw on the back towards the bottom (see photos) but not noticeable when worn. The tie is removable. My loss is your gain! Shipped from a smoke-free home :)
