blue island dress Portland Sleeveless Model is 58 and wears size Xs Tropical Island Floral Tiered Mini

I knew I couldnt be unhappy about it

I really like the lace waistband as opposed to a thin elastic band because whereas elastic bands tend to cut into your stomach, feel uncomfortable, and maybe create bulging rolls, the lace lays flat on my stomach

It's also a flattering silhouette that works with a wide variety of body shapes and bust sizes

Many shoppers compare this to a black lace top or a halter top black for evening wearbut the difference here is versatility

As someone who dedicates most of her waking hours to scrolling, screenshotting, and mentally styling outfits for every possible occasion, I feel fully qualified to say that a black maxi dress is the most timeless item you could ever have in your closet
