gorgeous flirty designer Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti made in Italy somewhere in the early 2000s. The lace up is so flattering and I love the design of the string, that can tie around the neck holding it up on the sides like a dirndl. condition-The embroidery is fuzzy here and there, and there is one flaw in the skirt. I almost shortened it myself and took up the orange bottom seam to blend it in. since the bottom is different lengths anyway, this hole could be cut off and matched to the rest. I am pricing the dress accordingly. see photos before purchase. It still presents well as is.
