This dress is brand new. It has a lining and a light top layer. The colour is a light blue grey and very pretty. It falls just to the ankle (I am 5' 3"). Bought for my daughters wedding but she chose a different theme colour and so wasn't worn. Perfect for any event as very very flattering on falling just below the bust and no fitted waist. Great for wedding, races, Henley and a cruise, or any garden event.
