Description

A long, peach colored taffeta dress with a lace overlay. The peach taffeta dress has thin spaghetti straps. There is a light gray netting over the skirt of the dress, while there is a white floral lace over the bodice and arms; the lace creates long sleeves, which are cinched at the wrist. The dress opens halfway down the back, and closes with a silver zipper.
