Gorgeous silk shantung party dress by Ralph Lauren. Perfect for upcoming holiday parties! Dress comes with sash which can be worn a multitude of ways or not at all. Side zip, so back is smooth and beautifully made pleats are shown off to the best effect. Dress looks great as is (and is fully lined) but pleats open up the possibility of adding a petticoat to give fullness to the skirt. Bodice is trimmed with trapunto stitching, which adds some structure. Measurements: strap length: 7" bust: 17" waist: 15.25" bodice length (top of bodice front to waist): 10" skirt length: 24.25" (most measurements taken lying flat- must be doubled for circumference)
