Coldwater Creek empire cocktail dress with deep V black lace over nude fabric bodice. Top portion crosses over in front, has same lines on the back, slightly capped shoulder, and invisible zipper. The black skirt is soft horizontal "pleated" fabric (see close-up photo). The dress is fully lined, dry clean only. I wore it once, and yes, it has been cleaned. Bust measurement pit to pit is 24", but it's hard to accurately measure the contours of the bust. Length is 41.25 shoulder to hem. Even though it is form fitting the soft pleated fabric hides figure flaws. I think this dress runs about one size small. Very pretty and flattering cut. Excellent like new condition from a non-smoking home.
