This is an amazing voluminous dress with so many details. There is an eyelet lace embroidered pattern throughout. There are buttons from the waist down with the lower portion, not buttoned up right now. The skirt is lined, but the upper part is not. The waist is the elastic, and I measured that as shown, but it also can stretch out to around 25 inches lying flat. The back is somewhat open with overlying flaps and a tie with tassels at the neck. This would make for an incredible photo shoot. Please see pictures for details. The only thing that comes to mind for the color of this is a very pale peach. I will fold carefully to ship, but plan on this item needing to be steamed.
