Gilded Butterfly

Description

This tissue-soft gold metallic evening dress creates an iridescent winged effect. The multi-gusseted ruffle trim detail adds a romantic swish and sparkle when you move. Shown as a strapless dress accessorized by a crisscross sash at the chest.

Floral Black

Floral Black

Description

The soft gray and black rosette waffle weave lends itself to dramatic evening wear, yet is so versatile that it may also be casually paired with a t-shirt, or even worn as a cape to accompany a skirt or gown. The netted selvedge at the edge wraps and lies simply against the bodice where it is zipped. The textured garment may also be layered as a cloak to compliment a pair of simple pants or formal wear. The weighty fabric creates a dramatic structured look!

Materials

Soft gray and black Viscose is woven into a waffle texture with a floral pattern permanently pressed into the fabric for more strength and stretch. The fabric is made of a delicate netting fiber—so soft to the touch—and the rosettes have been woven into a unique design. Also available in solid black, brown and selected neutral lighter tones and combos.
