Chacott 120 This is a front-zip dress. I've worn it for about three seasons, over my leotard, before and after ballet lessons. I've eaten while wearing it, so there are some small stains. There's also a feeling of wear, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a pristine item or if you are concerned. I will fold it compactly for mailing, so please be aware of this beforehand.
