Empire Waist Dress with Soutache Lace Bodice & Jacket
Style # 81122629
The empire waist sits high and gently releases into a flowing skirt, giving a graceful silhouette that stays comfortable all evening without sacrificing an ounce of polish. The soutache lace bodice, worked in intricate braided detail, adds dimensional texture and a quietly ornate quality that reads beautifully in photographs. Three-quarter sleeves on the coordinating open jacket provide arm coverage with an easy, refined finish. Features a concealed back zipper closure. A confident choice for Mothers of the Bride or Groom and formal wedding guests at cocktail receptions and galas.

I am able to wear
"I am able to wear this dress and jacket with no alterations. At 5’7” the length is perfect. It looks best with the jacket. The sleeveless bodice is fine, it’s just not very interesting without the jacket. I don’t think this gown and jacket will work in a hot summer event, as the jacket is a little warm."
