Description: muted plum velvet gives this shirt dress its soft glow. The lapel collar and full button front keep the top structured, long sleeves fall to buttoned cuffs, and the skirt flares into an a-line mini that moves with the velvet.Some details: muted plum velvet: the color sits between mauve and deep plum, and the velvet pile lightens it in the folds for a soft, dusty finish. Shirt collar and placket: a pointed collar and a clean button placket keep the front of the dress tidy, whether you close every button or leave a few open. Flared mini hem: the a-line starts at the waist and widens toward a short hem, giving the velvet dress a light swing instead of a heavy line. Long cuffed sleeves: long sleeves drape over the arms and close with buttoned cuffs, so the dress has coverage and still shows an elegant, party-ready line. Material: the dress is sewn from 95% polyester, 5% elastane velvet. Polyester brings the soft pile and holds the muted plum shade, and the elastane adds a touch of stretch so the fabric falls smoothly over the waist and hips.Care instructions: machine wash, following the care label inside the dress. Anything beyond a regular machine wash should follow that same label, and the plum velvet keeps the soft finish shown here.
