Rebecca Vallance Kensington Midi Dress in Black | Strapless Pencil Midi Dress with Gold Rose Appliqué
Description
The Kensington Midi Dress by Rebecca Vallance is a strapless pencil midi dress in black bonded crepe. It has a gently curved strapless neckline that rises at the sides, and a fitted bodice with internal boning that cinches at the waist. Down the left side, from the neckline to the hip, a trail of three gold roses with leaves is embroidered and hand-appliquéd in metallic thread. From the waist seam, the pencil skirt follows the hips and falls straight to mid-calf, with a split at the back for walking. The dress is fully lined and closes with an invisible zip at the back.
