A CLASSIC BEAUTY
This little black dress can handle any special occasion and needless to say, the construction is impeccable.
The smooth fitted bodice is made with contouring darts and a back V neckline. The waist nips in about 2 inches above the slightly dropped waistline. The skirt is pleated with a gentle flare and has a built-in crinoline to achieve fullness. The look is tied neatly with a bow on back waist. Hooks and snaps for closure.
