it's a one piece dress with just below knees length and sides stitched to give an empire look. the ends of the sleeves is frilled to give a frock look. one may consider it as a frock style kurti.
have worn and washed multiple times but the soft silky fabric makes it look all time new. flaw: due to passage of time and use, stiching got lose at the right shoulder that can be stitched with ease without much expense.(refer last image). it's not torn, only worn dur to passage of time. it is not transparent, just can be adorned as a slip on over inners. good to go!
