This is a semi-sheer chiffon silk dress with a black silk slip. This classic styled dress with dolman sleeves has a beautiful drape will move effortlessly with you. The dress collar is ivory in color. The waist has an elastic thread so it’s forgiving. The belt has a suede finish with a leather-like backing. I doubt it’s real leather. Yes, I singled out a spare button that is sewn to the inside seam; of course details are important! I remember wearing this classy, understated dress once and it was a head-turner. Bonus, there are side-seam pockets! Put on your heeled shoes and join your girl friends or significant other for a fancy brunch. FYI, I’m 5’4” and 115 lbs. It's listed as size 42 but can fit size 4 to 6. It's quite forgiving. You certainly can be taller than me; up to 5’7” or 5’8”? There are shoulder pads that can be taken out if desired. The black silk slip can be an extra slip to add to your wardrobe needs.
