The dress has pockets!! I loved this dress. It fit super well and was different from everyone else's. The bottom doesn't twirl very much but that's what made it a good dancing dress. It was more blue than in the picture and kinda has a texture but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I would definitely get it again. If you're trying to find a dress and you're reading this review then get the dress. You won't regret it. Oh! And you don't have to worry about it falling down.
