Reposhing this item I purchased from @susierust. I completely loved it, but I'm too petite for it. It would be best worn on someone with a longer torso. I'm 5'2" with a short torso/petite build This is part of La Perlas exclusive intimate apparel however could be worn as a cocktail dress if you were to wear a slip underneath. It is unlined and the left side of the dress has buttons going up to the waist. The dress is drop-dead gorgeous and is so unique and elegant. Measurements: Torso length (shoulder seam to waist elastic) = 17in Skirt length (waist elastic to bottom hem) = 22 in Chest across (armpit to armpit) = 20in (it's supposed to look blousy) Questions?
