About the Item
A gown worthy of a dance number with Fred Astaire, this dress has drama by the handful. Yards of swirling chiffon and feathers provide nonstop movement, while the rich ombré tye dye effect creates pools of depth. If movie star glamour is your thing, get ready for your close-up because this dress brings it.
Spaghetti strap gown with empire waist, ostrich feather bust trim, and flowing skirt of ombré -dyed chiffon. Left metal zipper closure with top hook and eye; attached underdress of poly crêpe for full coverage. Hanging loops.
