This dress is so pretty. Unfortunately the little shawl did not come with my order, but at the time I purchased it, it didn't say that the shawl would come with. It's very comfortable, and the corset is a separate piece that looks great with other outfits. The corset is an elastic one, except for the part around the lace-up ribbon, and has velcro in the back. The gloves are super cute and lace-up as well.
