This by far has to be one of my favorite STQ items. I purchased last year for an event and ended up not going unfortunately I never got the chance to wear it. It is not lined but very welll made and not transparent. The back is mesh and velvet, GORGEOUS design. The tie is attached at the waist so can bet worn in the front or backk, both look very nice. The tag says large but I would de M/ size 4 comfortably, it’s snug on a 6. Resonable offers welcomed
