This navy dress has never been worn. There's a zipper in back, and there are buttons in the top half of the dress up front. I've taken close-up shots so you can see the banded waistline, and it's a midi-length or ankle-length, depending on your height. I'm 5' 8", and it's midi length on me. My dream was to buy red heels and glam this up for a 40's style event, but I never got around to it. Maybe someone out there wants to make the dream a reality?
