This is such an absolutely beautiful and unique iridescent colored purple and blue sheened sleeveless removable straps midi length draped accented front dress is the color called luminous. There is an inner grip strip around the top of the dress for added hold when worn with the straps removed. Such a quality dress. Boning for support and structure in the top half. I would say it looks more purple than blue without the flash of a camera, the up close photos seem to show it better.
