Perfect for a romantic picnic, dinner date, night on the town, or any event really. Its sutle warm floral pattern is both elegant and captivating and the soft lining and more sheer floral cover is really pretty. It has very comfortable round elastic shoulder straps. The 6 buttons on the back highlight the shape of the back and the top of the dress has stretchable lace around it which allows for movement making this dress all the better. As with all Aratta dresses the design of this dress is boho chic with flirty overtones :). I am 5 ' 7 and this dress falls mid thigh level. Armpit to armpit is 18 inches.
