This is one A-line dress that might seem demure when you first meet her, but when you put her on you discover her one curve-hugging, bosom-highlighting feature: Gorgeous glittery black sequins generously undulating over your chest, finished off with a wee bow. Looks glorious on (but is hard to photograph on a mannequin because of shadows).

I had to lighten several of the photos to show detail. The dress is jet black.

The designer, Peter Barron, did a bang-up job on this one. Wrist-length sleeves close with a snap, and there's a long metal zipper up the back. As his label shows, the best fit is for a slenderish medium, with a bust of 35. 5 to 36. 5 inches. The dress falls to knee length.

Condition is excellent! It's a heavy garment because of the full lining and all those sequins, but you'll feel like a million bucks and make a stunning impression at your New Year's party.

Note that this is a nonsmoking home, but it does harbor several feline Americans. The kitten won't come with your package, but she might help me tape it up!
