I just bought this for a ceremony, but I've decided to wear something else, so I'm selling it. The gold buttons give it an elegant impression. The color is a pale shade, like a mix of pink beige and greige. It goes well with either white or black underneath. This listing is for the vest only; the blouse, corsage, etc. worn underneath are not included, so please be aware of that. Please understand the above and purchase with no claims and no returns.
