Tracy Reese Silk Blend Paisley Flutter-Sleeve Dress, Orange and Navy Size 10

This dress does something that I always wish for in dresses with these gorgeous luxury fabrics: it keeps some of that most luxurious-feeling fabric on the inside, next to the skin. The fabric is a rayon-silk blend, and the vibrantly patterned outside has a matte finish. The inside, however, has a light sheen and is smooth, silky, and soft, adding movement to the dress while giving the feeling of wearing the most beautiful, soft negligee. It’s divine, and I’m jealous of the person who buys this. If it were one size smaller, I wouldn’t be giving it up. This dress is unlined (hooray for no polyester interior!), and I tried to photograph the darts so that you can see the subtle shaping. On the hanger it looks fairly straight, but it actually comes in slightly at the waist before flaring just a touch to make the skirt swishy while also being very shape-flattering. Other interesting details include the external zipper and those dramatic fluttery sleeves that are a grounded by their dark navy colour, which contrasts with the bold oranges and purples of the body. Measurements (approximate, laid flat): Chest (pit to pit): ~18” Waist (narrowest spot I could find on the dress) ~16” Length (shoulder to hem): ~36”
