Thank you for looking. I loved this dress and took great care of it, so I've only worn it a few times. (I'm selling it because it no longer fits.) It's an elegant dress. The waist has elastic and also a drawstring. There is no lining, but I don't think it's see-through. I don't see any damage, but please understand that there may be minor oversights. I will fold it for shipping. I also have other women's wear, such as dresses, for sale. Would you like to take a look at them together?
