Silk Cocktail Dress

This is a lovely "party" "cocktail" SILK dress from Coldwater Creek. The tags are not attached but I've never worn this dress. It didn't fit as expected. The dress as you can see on the label is 100% Silk and the full black lining is polyester. It has a pretty V neckline and a low V back and the brown, beige and black colors. The beading on the front is well done, nothing is loose. Laying flat this area under the bustline is 16 inches. Hanging from shoulder to hem it is 42 inches long. Zips up the side with invisible zipper (see photo). It is in EXCELLENT condition. The tag says 12, but possibly mis sized. The PTP is 16 inches, so I'm listing as an 8.
