I purchased this online last year. I've worn it about 4 or 5 times. It's a long gilet, but you can also wear it as a dress by buttoning it up. The pearls are a nice accent and it's very cute♪ Made of a stretchy, ponte-like fabric, it's a stress-free piece. It's suitable for work, and you can also change the inner layer and wear it for events like Shichi-Go-San, Hatsumode, entrance or graduation ceremonies, etc.
