I wore this once for a fundraising event and haven't touched it since. Time to make room for something new! It's so cute - bare but covered, and in an eye catching red. There's a very flattering grosgrain ribbon waist and a pleated skirt at the bottom. The front has a lining in the bust, and an open back. I wore it with a strapless bra that crisscrossed low at the waist, but you could totally use cutlets or tape. This dress is perfect for fall and winter weddings, holidays, and events. pit to pit is ~23" waist is ~20" length is ~50" It's Little Mistress brand, purchased from ASOS. The lace does offer some stretch, but the waist does not.
