This dress has never been worn outside - only just trying it on at home. I originally bought it for my city hall wedding but ended up wearing something else. PLEASE NOTE: this is a US size 8 BUT it was professionally altered to fit a size 6. I included a picture with a measuring tape to show the smallest part of the dress which is around the rib cage (14 inches laying flat and 28 inches all around). It’s a mid length, midi style, or tea style dress. Very elegant and flattering! Please feel free to ask any questions! 😊 From Adrianna Papell website: “This elegant special occasion dress features a boat neckline, structured sleeveless bodice, and a beautiful, tea-length skirt that's both feminine and festive. Create a fabulous evening look when you wear this formal dress to your next wedding, gala, or black-tie event. This exquisite evening dress combines beautifully with bold statement earrings, a chic clutch, and an eye-catching pair or strappy heels or classic pumps.”
