Such a classy cocktail dress bearing the label "Lori Weidner Evenings, Made in Canada".

Size tag for UK10, US8. Actual measurements are :

• Bust - 38"
• Waist = 31"
• Hips = 40"
• Shoulder to hem = 39"

The fabric has the look and feel of a light-weight crepe, but is actually a polyester/spandex blend. The colour is delightful, and I can only think to describe it as a light pistachio green.

The short sleeved dress is Princess-line (no waist seam) and has a 21" concealed zipper at centre back. The hem line has a 4¾" slit to the left of centre front. There are large shoulder pads, which can easily be removed.

There is a fabulous "shawl collar" effect around the shoulders and neckline in a toning satin fabric which is pleated in rows, giving the appearance of ribbons. The widest point is at centre back, where it is 5" deep.

This is further enhanced with a gold-tone brooch stitched to the "shawl" at the left - the brooch depicts 3 butterflies, each with a small diamante stone in the centre. Two butterflies are matt, the centre one is shiny.

This dress screams out how classy and chic it is - it is the perfect outfit for a wedding or extra special occasion.
