This dress is in pristine condition. Very well made, quality of beading work absolutely outstanding. Train can be collected with the string inside the dress, pulling up. This dress can be turned in to a beautiful cocktail dress by drastically shortening the skirt. Choice is yours. I did have difficult time to photograph this dress, any question you have just ask. The dress size is 8, however, easily can be worn by the person in sizes down as this dress is stretchy.
