I'm selling this item because it's a bit too small for me, unfortunately. I'm not sure of the exact material because the tag is faded, but I think it's a cool, slightly sheer blend of cotton and polyester? It has an elastic waist. There are belt loops, but no belt. When listing the item, I noticed a slight fraying of the fabric above the right pocket. I don't think it will tear further unless forced. Perfect for those who are used to vintage clothing or love vintage styles! It has pockets on both sides and a lining in the skirt. I'm selling it for much less than I bought it for. Measurements (laid flat): Shoulder width: 56cm (from right edge to left edge) Width: 47cm Waist (elastic): up to 37cm Length: 105cm This is a black and white checkered short-sleeved dress with an elastic waist for a comfortable fit. - Color: Black and white check - Style: Short-sleeved, elastic waist - Design: Button closure, front opening - Material: Checkered woven fabric Thank you for looking.
