About the Item

This columnar maxi dress chastely covers every inch of skin but oozes stature and grace thanks to Byzantine-era jeweling around the neck and wrists. Added opulence provided by the free-hanging front panel skirt whose edges and center are adorned in matching jewels. Best of all, the gown could double as a wedding dress or evening wear the wedding is over. Very late-sixties Liz Taylor. (And it has pockets!)
