I only wore this once, to a wedding. I think this is a dress you can wear for a long time, in seasons other than summer.

Flat measurements: Length: Approximately 82 cm Width at the waist seam: Approximately 38 cm I think you can wear it comfortably, even around the waist. Pattern: Solid Color: Black
