I purchased this dress about 7 years ago for a wedding reception I was invited to. I've worn it about 3 times, including for my child's recital. It's been stored in the closet for a long time after being dry cleaned. There are no noticeable stains or blemishes. I think this dress will be perfect for the upcoming season. If you pair it with a black jacket, it will look more formal and suitable for special occasions. The skirt has a lining, so you don't have to worry about it being see-through. It has a light and airy design. Please understand that this is not a new item before considering a purchase. Thank you. Size 11, Length 99cm (measured from the shoulder)
