Two pieces: top and full-length A-line skirt. Skirt has scoop in back (like small train) that can be held up with button/loop. Bodice is strapless, zip back and fits over natural waist of skirt. Hips are free as is A-line shape but waist is 28" labeled size 4 but I've never been a size 4 so probably fits closer to a 6. Waterfall ruffles graduate in size from top getting larger at the bottom. I'm 5' 8.5" and wore kitten heels with skirt to be floor length.
