I purchased this for taking photos and a meal for a celebration. I've only worn it once and it's been dry cleaned. It's also recommended for entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc. The lace part has a sturdy lining, so it's not see-through. The skirt also has a lining, so you can wear it with confidence. The fabric is sturdy and can be worn year-round. The ribbon at the waist is removable. There's a zipper on the back, making it easy to put on and take off. The color is beige. The length is below the knee on someone who is 160cm tall.
