This is a dress from Melrose. It has elastic slightly above the waist, which creates a flattering silhouette. You can also wear it as a tunic by positioning the elastic higher. It comes with a wide ribbon that can be tied into a large, cute bow. Folding it in half before tying creates a thinner ribbon. I've worn it three times when going out. The condition is good, but it is still a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
