A great dress in a classic and timeless silhouette. This dress was worn one time and then washed and hung to dry. The only flaws I could see where two tiny little pin prick dots near the underarm. I think it is where I temporarily used a safety pin in that area. Should not be visible when worn. Please see photos! The fabric is a cotton twill and it does need ironing. I had to iron it when I received it new from J. Crew. It’s just the nature of the fabric. The color is Sunny Wheat and it is a pale creamy shade of yellow. The first pic is the closest representation to the true color. It would look amazing with some black and white snake skin embossed shoes. Bust meausures about 17.5” across from underarm to underarm. Waist measures about 15” across at the slimmest point. “A-line silhouette. Falls above ankle, 49 3/4" from high point of shoulder (based on a size 6). A 30-second outfit that looks like everything but. . . - This extra-polished pick is tailored to perfection, thanks to flattering seams at the waist.
