Product Information
Full details
This sleeveless maxi dress, in elegant black and size 14, is designed for petite women seeking a sophisticated look for bridal parties. Its key benefit is a flattering silhouette and dramatic cowl back, tailored specifically for shorter frames. A potential consideration is its floor-sweeping length, which may require hemming for some petite heights. Key features include a boat neckline, cinched waist, fishtail hem, and hand-stitched detailing.
