Girls, the dress really enhances the body. Inside it has a simple corset-like lining, it's not tiring, and it shapes the body. You can tighten or loosen it from the chest area or the back. Very neat. Black velvet. I got it from Canada. Normally, it doesn't show a strong shine like in the photos, but that's because of the lighting. However, it gives a deep black color, very neat and cute.
