Customer review: “Blue is vibrant and the gold zipper really pops. Gold accessories will be beautiful with this dress. Dress fits as expected. Has some stretch but also the thicker fabric conceals and provides great support. Seems to be well-made, no irregularities in the stitching. My only complaint is that I wish the bodice had just a little more structure. I don’t have to wear a bra but I would wear strapless to get a little more cleavage.”
Turn the glamour up a notch with this strapless, open-back slip. Pair it with a glittery clutch and strappy heels to embrace your It girl movie moment.

Customer review: “This dress is amazing!! The fabric was thick and does not feel cheap at all. It is SO flattering. I am 5’3 and the length of the dress hit at my ankles.”
Finally, a dress that is as fun and flirty as you are. This style features the always-flattering halter neckline and micro-pleated ruffled hem layers in 15 different color options.
