Illusion Sleeve Floor-Length Evening Gown
Style # 212788
Designed for smaller frames, this petite A-line gown gets the proportions exactly right without compromise. Dimensional rosette lace catches the light with embedded sequin detail throughout, giving the gown texture and shimmer that read beautifully across a room, while short illusion sleeves offer graceful coverage through the ceremony and the reception. The boatneck sits flatteringly high without feeling restrictive. Features a concealed back zipper closure. Beautiful for Mothers of the Bride or Groom, Grandmothers of the Bride, and black-tie celebrations.

"I wore this to my son's wedding. I had more than one person come up to me to say how beautiful I looked and how beautiful this dress was. I was very comfortable in it. It fit well but I was able to dance without restriction. I ordered the petite length and it was perfect and didn't need alterations."
"It’s a perfect fit. I bought it for my son’s wedding. Love the dress. Thank you Alex Evenings for making Petite formal dresses - they are hard to find!"
"Very pretty, fits great, length is perfect, only thing I don’t like is the material that is directly on my skin on sleeves and upperchest is scratchy."

"This dress was very beautiful and elegant while also being very comfortable. I did return it only because I decided on something less ornate to be more cohesive with my daughter's wedding dress and bridesmaids."
"I found this dress in a very random place, in a second hand market in México. New, with the tags still on, and oh gosh, might be weird, but I have DREAMED about having a dress like this for years. Purple is my favorite color in the world and this specific hue is divine! The size of the dress is 10 in a Petite fit (you guys don't have it in existence anymore) And when I tried it on. . . it was a perfect fit for me. You might not know where your creations end up, but I can tell you, this one has a new home with me. It's my new favorite dress."
