Stunning long dress for a formal occasion. It is hard to capture the beauty of this dress in one photo. First off, the fabric has a little texture to it, is stretchy, very forgiving and extremely comfortable. Wide v neck but not plunging, very tasteful. Short sleeves, almost elbow length. Ruching at the waist is very slimming. High slit on the left side. The color is a periwinkle blue with thin silver threading running throughout, it was a little hard to capture the silver. Notice the last couple photos, snags at the very bottom of the dress in the back. I pulled a couple thru, the remaining are barely noticeable on the textured fabric but want to point out. Dress was worn once and has been cleaned. Smoke free home. I wore this to a black-tie dinner/awards ceremony. It would also be perfect for a bridesmaid dress, mother of the bride, any formal event!
