Definitely a statement piece but I actually originally bought it for a Halloween costume and ended up going a different direction last year. No stains or tears. Sleeves are a little itchy when you first put it on but it gets better after a few minutes. Tulle for extra flare in skirt. Hidden zipper in back. Comfortable slip dress attached on the inside. **lost the bottom button while stored! I will fix it once I hopefully find it!**
