It's cute enough to be a Halloween costume! I've only worn it once, to a relative's wedding. The back has a zipper. There's a long ribbon at the waist that can be tied in the back. There's a faint stain on the front, right where the ribbon is. I immediately took it to the dry cleaners for stain removal. You can see it if you look closely, but it's hardly noticeable. Pattern/Design: Solid
