THIS SERENELY ELEGANT FORMAL/SPECIAL-EVENT OR OCCASION (MOTHER-OF-THE-BRIDE?) FULL-LENGTH MERMAID GOWN WITH MATCHING SHAWL BY IGNITE EVENINGS, SIZE 18, is gently pre-owned, in near-perfect condition, free of defects or damage, with no signs of wear. It consists of an outer shell of a semi-sheer gray mesh fabric over a lining of glossy silver fabric. In classic mermaid-gown styling, it fits closely to about the knees and flares blow that. The upper bodice is unlined and embellished with shiny beads, sequins, and simulated gemstones (picture #11). Below that, the outer shell is covered all over with applied decorations in lustrous silver satin (picture #12). The shawl is the same semi-sheer gray mesh as the outer shell of the gown. The bodice has a built-in bra. In back, there is a 1-button closure at the neckline, an 8.5" keyhole opening below that, and a clasp-and-zipper closure below that. The fabric is 100% polyester, professional spot cleaning only recommended. The stated size is 18 (although the label on the shawl says 16; picture #14), but prospective buyers are encouraged to compare the measurements with those of a dress that they know fits well prior to purchase. Measurements are: chest, pit to pit 21"; waist 19"; hips 22.5"; hemline 44"; shoulder 14.5"; length (in back, neckline to hem) 54.25".
