The drape is to die for - and in a classic shirt dress, no less! This dress will never go out of style, so consider what you spend an investment you can enjoy at work, job interviews, church, or the opera - it all depends upon how you accessorize this highly versatile shirt dress. I'm selling this dress simply because I never found the kind of shoes I had in mind - and that was my problem. I know better than to shop with a specific design or color in mind, as it limits your options. A super long belt you can wrap around your waist twice, set in sleeves you can roll up and hold in place with tabs, and front and back yokes that make it interesing. FABRIC: 53% silk, 47% linen...silk! FLAWS: None that I can see. MEASUREMENTS: Laying flat, this dress measures armpit to armpit 20 inches, the waist measures 20 inches, the hip measures 19 inches, and the length is 42 inches. Please reference the last two pictures to see which parts of my garments I measure and for tips on how to buy your ideal size when shopping online. IMPORTANT: To do my part to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, I ship once per week on Thursday. BEFORE YOU GO: 96% of my listings are NWOT or NWT, as my slogan is "One woman's mania is another woman's bargain!" Please take a look at my entire closet, especially if you're a size 12-14 or wear size 8.5 shoe.
