ok for real, this is the first formal gown I ever bought, and I bought it at the age of 18, in Paris, and it was glorious. I wore it once. still is so gorgeous and classic I just have nowhere to wear it. fits many sizes since there's lots of stretch, but best suited to a medium (4-8 women's size). shimmery sparkles are somewhere between magenta and purple in color. back is open except for a sheer black chiffon cowl. I recommend a body suit under it since the gown is sheer. bundle any of my items and make me an offer. I'm trying to clear out lots of stuff. smoke free, pet friendly home.
