The ultimate wiggle dress, this black rayon crepe sheath has a curve-enhancing draping that starts with pleats at the shoulder and falls to a cowl at the bust in front and lower in back. Nipped waist is emphasized with inset piping, slim skirt has the tiniest folded slit on the side. Nylon zipper at left. Measures 38" bust and hips, 29" waist, 41" length. Excellent condition.
