Nobody's got nothing on Bessi for flattering, flirty, fun dresses! I mean, MAYBE Mugler (bless his heart and rest in peace!), but with a Mugler you're always kinda sorta aware you're making a fashion statement, whereas Bessi dresses are just as fashionable but more low key, if that makes sense. Oh! I know! With Bessi you can breathe; with Mugler you have to live up to what you're wearing, which can be a heavy burden indeed.
Perfect for church/synagogue, a wedding (with or without a HAT!). Great coordinating fabric band around neck and sleeves. 
All original (always ask), with no alterations. No pulls, no rips, no fading. Original shoulder pads. Original zipper. Flirty hem executed perfectly. Superior craftsmanship. No partially removed coffee stains (so difficult to see in a Bessi dress!). There is a slight darkening (2nd photo) in one small place but it's so difficult to see that it may be part of the pattern. The worst I can say about this dress is that the tag is worn, but unless you're the type of woman who routinely pulls out the tag of her dress and says to all and sundry, "See? See??," well, hmm, maybe another article of clothing might suit you better.
Comes with a matching fabric belt, but it can certainly be worn without one or with your own black or beige or sand belt—thick or thin. So pretty!
If you've put on a few pounds during covid (who hasn't), then this dress will make you forget ALL ABOUT those few extra measly pounds. 
Does anyone know Mr. Bessi? Is he still alive? If you know him, tell him from me that he is a GENIUS. GENIUS!
