This dress has a cowl neck, cap sleeves, and asymmetrical skirt with ruching at the waist. I've always wanted to find a little black dress to go with my little black heels. I love my shoes: mary-jane style, delicate 2 inch heels - so flattering and classic. The dress had to be classic, and be flattering for a figure that isn't so classic - for some women there's a little more figure to flatter )
