The bodice is made of cotton and fits the body, while the skirt has a black base with white dots that get larger towards the hem. Lace is applied to the V-neck, so you can feel secure even when bending over. Personally, I have a relatively thin upper body and a larger lower body, so I think this would make that body type look slimmer. It's labeled as size 11, but it feels a bit smaller, so it's good for sizes 9-11. Here are the approximate measurements, taken by a non-professional: Length from shoulder to hem: 100cm Length from back zipper to hem: 90cm Skirt seam, laid flat: 34.5cm It can be washed at home. While inspecting the item for sale, I found some color bleeding on the hem of the skirt at the back. I don't think it will be noticeable while wearing it... Please be aware of this if you are concerned. There are belt loops, but no belt is included.
