Poppy is my favorite flower and let this dress go is killing me. I think I have tried 3 times but saved it until now. It deserves to be used much more. It closes with buttons on the front and has bands you can tie up on the back for showing waist line. 100% cotton. Marked size 38, but more of a size 40. Waist (without band tied) is about 80cm, chest about 92cm.
