DESCRIPTION: This is a sweet, but kind of sexy, 1970s' dress by SL Petites. The semi-sheer knit fabric (nylon, I think) drapes beautifully and is a bit see-through. Wear it with a black slip for a dramatic look, a white or off-white one for demureness, or even with a red or deep pink one to set off the gorgeous floral border print. Great office-to-dinner dress!

The V-neck and sleeves are edged with narrow ruffles, and the shoulders are gathered at the top. There are black dots sprinkled throughout, which give the look of a swiss-dot fabric. But these are printed into the pattern and not woven as a raised dot. The elasticized waist gives pullover entry. May fit a non-petite size; check the measurements.

SIZE: No label; estimated at about a modern 8. Please use the actual garment measurements below to determine fit. Fabric stretches, so there's some flexibility; you can probably go up or down a size.

* Waist: 22" to 29" (as above)
* Hip: free
