Short cuffed sleeves. Has belt loops to cinch in the waist, no belt included. Large hip pockets. Pleating at the front waist and tucks in the back to accent your figure. Side metal Murlen zipper at the waist. Pictured both pinned and unpinned to mannequin. In fantastic vintage condition, small light dust mark on one shoulder, too light to picture and not noticeable. could use a good pressing. Hard to capture how great this dress is.
