Description

Felicia is a snug-fitting dress, highlighting the waist with a waist seam and a removable belt featuring a fabric-covered buckle. The skirt gracefully flares into a gentle A-line. The front bodice boasts a centre seam, elegantly draped at the bust level. Both front and back bodices are shaped with shoulder princess seams. Adding flair, flounces with shoulder seam slits adorn the princess seams. The front skirt features a centre seam and welt pockets. Felicia's deep V-neckline is elegantly finished with bias binding, and it discreetly fastens with an invisible zipper in the centre back seam. This chic dress falls to a stylish mid-calf length.
