Thank you for viewing. It has good stretch and is easy to wear. Purchased around August 2024. There are no pads in the bust. The sleeves and neckline are lace, which is very lovely. It has a beautiful silhouette and is a versatile black Chacott piece. As it is used, there may be some slight pilling. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. (There may be oversight of small scratches, etc.) Please note that I will delete the listing if it sells elsewhere. Thank you.
