This dress is even more beautiful in person. The sequins are actually a mix of matte black and gunmetal gray, which creates a subtle pattern on the dress. The result is an elegant gown that shimmers with every movement. The straps are edged in a raw silk and the fringy effect is so modern and chic. The back of the dress is slightly longer than the front which creates a slight train when you walk--so fun! The dress fit perfectly in the hips and waist, but the top was too tight, even for my moderate bustline. I was SO disappointed, and I really wanted to wear the dress, so I got creative! If you look closely you can see that the dress has an inset waist, so I decided to zip the back of the dress just up to the inset waist. I tucked the unzipped part of the top under and secured it with a bit of fashion tape. So, instead of a higher scoop neck back, I created a plunging bare back dress. SO sexy--I actually liked it much better than the scoop back and it fit my bustline perfectly!
