This is one stunning full length black evening gown from Patra!  It features A black beaded inset front waistband and six overlapping tiers of sheer black chiffon which cascade down over a full black stretch polyester jersey lining.  The sleeves and the top of the bodice are fashioned of one sheer layer of the same chiffon fabric.  A size 18, the dimensions are as follow:  22" between underarm seams, 25" long flowy sleeves, 38" waist, and approximately 60" long overall.  One thought - you could certainly shorten this dress by removing tiers as necessary to render it a cocktail dress if you should desire :)

This gown retails at $119
