Get ready for your debut at the Hollywood Bowl or your next stroll down the red carpet at any black tie affair in this incredible black velvet strapless evening gown!

Dress is unlined with in-seam bodice boning, taffeta-faced hem for drape and durability, and metal zipper with hook-and-eye closure at center back. Truly an incredible piece!

Beyond! This dress is so gorgeous and it arrived quickly and well package! It was a rainy day when it arrived and the mailman dropped this PKG over the gate into a puddle! Thanks to the considerate thoughts of the seller, the dress was safe inside another plastic bag!
