This light purple satin formal dress has a square neck, ruffle bottom, slit, and ties at the shoulder and waist. The ties at the shoulder are fully functional, so it can easily be adjusted to size. The back of the dress includes elastic for the perfect fit. The waist tie is fully detached and the dress does not have loops, so you can wear it wherever you'd like in your midsection (or not at all) and tie in back, front, or side. The light purple color is very beautiful, and the dress is a satin material that's very comfortable. This is perfect for a summer or early fall wedding, reception, cocktail party, or special event. I only wore this once for a wedding/reception, and got many compliments.
