Description: forest green velvet gives this shirt dress a rich, jewel tone. A lapel collar and buttoned front keep the shape tailored, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs finish the arms, and the a-line skirt flares into a mini hem that moves with the velvet.Some details: forest green velvet: the dark green velvet deepens in the folds and brightens across the pile, giving the dress depth with no visible pattern. Tailored shirt top: a pointed lapel collar and a full button front make the bodice look sharp, while the cuffs keep the long sleeves tidy. Short a-line skirt: from the waist the dress widens into an a-line that ends above the knee, so it feels light to wear and easy to style. Velvet for evenings: the glossy pile and jewel tone suit dinners and parties, and the button front means you can also wear it open as a long layer. Material: this dress is made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane velvet. Polyester creates the jewel-green pile and its soft sheen, and the elastane brings light stretch so the fabric follows the body from the collar to the flared hem.Care instructions: machine wash as the care label inside the dress directs, and follow that label for anything beyond a regular machine wash. Kept to that routine, the green velvet holds its deep, glossy finish.
