This is a dress I wore once at a wedding about 20 years ago and about twice to social gatherings. There is no unpleasant odor. I took it out of the garment bag before taking the photos and hung it out to dry for a few days just in case. You wear it by wrapping or tying the straps around your neck (see image 3). Please note that if the bust size doesn't fit, the fabric will slide down and feel uncomfortable. It was a little big when I bought it, so I altered it myself with some sewing. I apologize, but I will ship it as is (see image 12). I recommend a strapless or clear bra. It came with a necklace, but it's no longer included (see image 11, only the clasp remains). Lined No pockets No buttons or zippers No bra cups This is a stylish dress that could be worn for social dancing or in the evening service industry. I will fold it and ship it via post. It's used, but I think it's in good condition. Please consider this if you can accept the above.
