VTG Y2K Jessica McClintock Empire Dress 12 Plum Halter Chiffon Prom Bridesmaid

Great preowned vintage condition! Only used for one event then stored in a dress bag in my closet. Made in the USA. This dress leans formal and is suitable for occasions like weddings, proms, formal dinners, or evening galas. Its romantic yet refined look makes it especially appropriate for events requiring elegance without going over-the-top. This dress is an elegant, floor-length halter-style gown in a rich plum purple color. The dress has a halter neckline, with wide straps that tie at the back of the neck, giving a soft, draped bow detail down the back. The bodice features a softly pleated bustline with a square neckline. The dress is a lightweight chiffon giving it flow and elegance. Accented with a shiny satin band under the bust and along the neckline, adding texture and visual interest. Empire waist—just below the bust—accentuated with the satin ribbon band for a slimming and elongating effect. The skirt flows straight and long from the empire waist, creating a classic column or modified A-line shape. The hem is subtly sheer and softly drapes, offering movement and grace when walking. Open back with the halter tie as the primary support. The gathered tie creates a soft cascading effect down the back.
