I challenge you to find a dress at this price of such pristinely high-end construction! Once you have a dress lined in real silk satin you’ll never want to go back. Purchased in Belgium in the 90s for more than $1000 (see attached price tag). Ingenious Grecian style design with two panels of black silk twill in the front and back loosely draping around a bodice-hugging cream satin construction that is visible at the sides and as the black silk drapes away from it. Really has to be seen to be believed. The front also has an open panel. Just amazing textile engineering. I have a long torso and I’m 5’9”. Recommended for a more petite woman. By the way the dress makes you look very slim no matter what.
