notice the pockets! We all love a dress with pockets! Honestly this dress is better quality than even the advertising photos make it look (bought this back when Hot Topic had well made products.) It is lined, and there's an underskirt thing that ensures you don't have to have the itchy tulle against your skin. Roses are the flower in the fabric. Has a cute sort of 1950's rock-a-billy vibe. This looks really nice with a waist belt! Halter with A line emphasize aaaaall the right curves! A few loose threads here an there -- all the ones I see are on the inside where no one would care or notice. I think I only wore this 2 or 3 times. This is from a non smoking, pet friendly home (i.e. I'll try to send it as pristine as possible but it'll probably have a bit of "Kitty Glitter" somewhere on it; consider it a bonus gift from my pets!)
