This is a dress made in the USA. I was planning to wear it for a recital, but it ended up being a piano duet, and I wore a different dress to match my partner, so I never had the chance to wear this one. I only tried it on at home. The bottom part of the skirt has four layers, so it's very fluffy. Please note that the white tulle and other parts may have some imperfections compared to those made in Japan.
