This appealed to me because it looked a bit different to the usual gothic black/white dress, and it is even better than I expected. The overall style of off the shoulder, sleeves fitted then balloning, gathered bust, is special. The trim is off white and the black fabric is difficult to describe but it has an antique look about it, and this overall rare beautiful vibe dosent convey in the photos. The fit is standard for this brand. Very flattering. Very fast dispatch and fast free delivery, thanks Kate.
