This chic and flattering basic black dress is 89% Polyamide and 11% Elastane.  It can be worn to work with a cardigan or jacket and make the transition to a cocktail party or semi-formal event in the evening with ease. The fabric is stretchy enough to make this dress very comfortable to wear, and it moves with you in a way that flatters your shape in any position.  The measurements are 15" across the shoulders, 36" bust; 28" waist; 39" long, un-stretched.  It falls a couple inches below my knees.  This dress does not wrinkle and packs very small, making it great for travel.
