Black *Larger Size* Pavé Sequin Starry Night Sleeveless Circle Dress - M, 1950s
About the Item
With so much to love about this dress, it's hard to know where to begin! Besides its hard-to-find larger size, we love how the hemline gently slopes longer in the back. The scrolling sequin pattern not only catches light beautifully but recalls Van Gogh's sky in "Starry, Starry Night." Finally, no need for a crinoline to create volume: remarkably full-bodied but still lightweight, this dress can stand upright without a hanger!
