The dress is knee length, with slightly puffed shoulders, sleeves that fall just above the elbow, and a faux turtleneck. The dress has, for the most part, a fitted sheath silhouette. The playful skirt is absolutely wonderful! The skirt features sixteen tiers of gently gathered ruffles stacked on top of each other and topped off with a long, rectangular bow at the waist. A fabulous dress that
