Embroidered Mock Jacket Cocktail Dress

The second lovely garment from this designer and like the first purchased a couple of years ago, fits perfectly/true to size (8) - not 10 per note above. The dress is elegant, understated and stunning, highly suitable for a woman of a certain age with classical taste. Highly appropriate for a summer English wedding and for domestic formal occasions.

This appeared to have a jacket, but it is sewn into the seam of the back zipper. The outer “jacket” was too long and I had to have the jacket altered in the length and put two clear snaps on the jacket in the front. I folded the jacket down to have a V neckline for the jacket. I got compliments at my son’s wedding, but the initial design was not to my liking. After the alterations it was a win.
