This is one of those little jewels from the seventies that when you see on the girl that can carry it off - well your jaw drops! Made of a metallic blue light weight knit this dress is made to act like a second fabulous, glittering skin (it has more of an electric blue undertone that does not come across in the pics - really amazing!). It skims over your curves and hugs you in all the right places. It is long, long long so be prepared to wear your highest stacked heels if you are not supermodel tall! (it does shrink up a little - the knit is done on a bias so adjusts to your curves) I love the pattern worked into the knit at the top and bottom hem. The original tie belt is still with it and it is in perfect condition. Really one of my favorites pieces and in excellent condition.
