About this item
Enchanting velvet & taffeta dress from Laura Ashley. The long sleeved top is in black velvet, the edges piped with the skirt fabric. It has a heart shaped neckline & fastens with 3 velvet covered buttons at the front. There is a long hidden zip at the back. Over the waist there is a ruched faux cummerbund in the striped turquoise & purple taffeta of the skirt. The skirt is gathered onto this & falls with some fullness to the hemline. The sleeves are set in with stiffening so that they have a slightly padded effect & are shaped to be narrow at the wrists where they fasten with a single button. The top is lined.
A really gorgeous dress which would be lovely to wear to a dinner dance or theatre outing.
