They don't make dresses like this anymore and you will make a big splash at your next event in this stunning nautical dress with large oversized sailor collar and stripped inset at neckline.  The skirt is flared front and back, gathered at stunning fitted inset waist from 3" on sides, to 6.5" V in the middle. Color is a great royal blue, but easy-on-the-eyes.  Slight fading to white 60% Linen and 40% cotton white collar as to be expected. See approximate measurements above.  It is a true-to-size 8 in a longer length.  It may be shortened as you prefer, but is particularly stunning in this length.  No tears, stains or mending.  If you like this one, see similar red in store.
