I've worn this dress to several weddings and had it dry cleaned each time, but there are stains on both sides under the arms. Please see the photos. I think they could be hidden by simply wearing something else over it. The zipper on the side opens and closes a large portion of the dress, making it easy to put on and take off. The high waistline gives a flattering silhouette. The skirt is black lace with a floral pattern. The length is about 2-3 centimeters above the knee on a person who is approximately 160 centimeters tall. Dress Length: Approximately 85cm Bust: Approximately 80cm Waist: Approximately 67cm
