I used this for slightly dressy occasions like going out, and it looks great paired with a white round-collar blouse. I think it's a dress that can also be used for formal occasions. The fabric is a sturdy wool, and the silhouette puffs out very charmingly when worn. It's a size 6 from Il Gufo, but my younger sister might have worn it from around age 4, as it was passed down from my older sister. It has been stored for a long time, but there isn't much damage, and it was worn about 10 times in total by both sisters. It has been dry cleaned.
