This dress is designed to flatter your figure and show you off. You will be wearing the dress, not the dress wearing you. The basic styles is sleeveless, scoped neck, fitted to the waist and then a slight flare to the hemline. The neck has 3 inches of an open patterned neckline topped off with a picot stitch. The armholes also are finished off with a picot stitch. Starting just below the waist, the knit is increased at two places in the front and two places in the back, increasing the measurement of the dress to gently lay over the hips. At the base of the hem there is a fancy bind off.
The measurements of this piece are from shoulder high quality to hemline, 41 inches. The bust measurement is 32 inches. The waist measures at 30 inches. The hem is 60 inches around. All of the measurements have been taken in a very relaxed state, therefore your own body can add to the shaping of the dress (a little push-out at the bust and a little movement at the hip line). The two vertical seams in the front and the back will elongate the look of your legs.
There is a small, repaired hole near the hemline of the dress on the left front side. After the repair, it is nearly unnoticeable (refer to photo).
Self belt is included. Can be worn with or without the belt. Missing four small rhinestones, but it is difficult to notice.
A perfect dress for any occasion. The style and color will rival your LBD.
This dress may be a St. John as the knit style has that look, but because there is no label I cannot be sure. This piece was my mother's, worn in the 60's. She had a wardrobe of St. John pieces so I would not be surprised if this too was one and she merely cut out the label for ease of wear. This dress comes from a smoke-free closet.
