This material is 97% wool with a bit of stretch - feels super silky on. V neck with side tie, but has both interior and side buttons and snaps so the dress is fully secure; the side tie adds visual interest but isn’t needed to keep the dress closed. This dress would be equally appropriate for a job interview or on a date night out. It’s truly a perfect LBD, and sadly needs to move on with some other small sizes I am letting go of.
