CHOICE: Medium in Denim or Medium or Large in Sand
Oh my gosh! Talk about a "My Generation" dress! The top of this one has a 40's Jean Harlow vibe, but then the bottom is an almost updated urban hippie 60's dress! But first, you have your choice of Sandy Beige or "your best faded jeans" denim.
Starting at the top, the wide 1.5" stone washed satin straps go down into a VEE and attach to another sweetheart cut stone washed satin piece. The straps and the under bust satin piece has detail in the form of embroidery and what looks like teeny tiny soutache. It's FAB!
But wait, I'm not done with the bust yet. The bust part itself is a stone washed crepe with a background that looks like little squares. This piece is lined and it's ruched. The color, the ruching and the stone washing has made the fabric light and dark denim.
Now, there are 3 long vertical panels going down the front. The center panel is the natural drapey rayon and it's done in chikan embroidery (like eyelet but without the holes). This panel is trimmed on either side in little "Y" trim, also stone washed. The panels on either side of that chikan center panel are plain drapey rayon and these have mid size flowers sprinkled here and there.
But wait! As the dress gets to the knee, there are gored triangle pieces inset which give this one it's SPIN. What a perfect "dancer" dress. But also, those triangle pieces are semi-sheer georgette and those, too, have chikan embroidery. Same little "Y" trim are on either side of those, too!
Now for the back! The back is squared off and in the very center from the top there are 5 rows of 1/8" elastic. This is what gives it the great "no gap" fit. To give some perspective the ruched elastic part ends where the front satin piece ends. From there, the back mimics the front except that the side panels do not have the floral embroidery...and they really don't need it with so much going on. Also, at the bottom of the piece with the elastic ruching, on either side are ties to further adjust the fit.
Again, the bust is lined, but not needed on the rest of the dress which is mainly the natural drapey rayon, along with the georgette gores that are inset. This one is going to need hand washing in cold because of all the details!
I will need you to notify me immediately of your size/color choice so I can repost the remaining pieces.
***Measurements*** Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat and measured across the front only. Be sure to double and then subtract your own "wiggle room". Also, please note: These measurements are taken from side to side with no stretching. Because there is elastic ruching in the back, there's easily 1.5"-2" of stretch to these listed measurements.
