This is a long dress that can be worn two ways, front to back. I've worn it about 5 or 6 times, but I'm selling it because I don't think I'll wear it again. Personally, I liked how it looked when cinched with a thin belt, as it made my figure look good. The balloon sleeves make my arms look slender. There are a few pills, but they're not very noticeable.
