Thank you for viewing! This is a blue (dusty blue) dress. It has a gathered waist, which creates a very beautiful silhouette when worn. It's suitable not only for summer but also for the late summer to early autumn period when the temperature is still high, like right now. It's a lovely, mature design for children's wear, and I loved it, but my daughters didn't, so it's been stored in the closet, hardly worn. I think it was only worn twice (once by my eldest daughter and once by my second daughter). It has been worn only a few times and is in relatively good condition, but please understand that it is a used item before purchasing. Please contact me if you have any questions. *Clothing and stuffed animals are often sent compressed. If compression is not acceptable, the difference in shipping costs due to a change in shipping method may be added to the price.
