A gorgeous black and silver tiger striped silk beaded evening gown by Mon Cheri…. just stunning. Tried on one time for about ten minutes to ensure fit for a pageant. I bought this at Nordstrom in Chicago.It is made well with a lining. Beautiful bugle beads the shorter ones. The pageant was Jungle themed and called for this look.measurements all are flat one side.. 🔴 Shoulders 16/17” a bit fitted so go with smaller instead or it will be too tight.🔴 Sleeve is fitted and 23” from seam to tip if you are muscular forget it. slim and trim with this sleeve.🔴 Bust 17” one flat side. I was 36” then around so it fit fine. I measured seam to seam straight across not allowing interruption of cups. It Zips to the neck and that creates a tighter feel. It could be altered to a v back. The back is stunning though so a toss up. 🔴 Waist is 15/16” a good sturdy feel. I always use maidenform body shapers to prevent any lumps. Just a fancy dresses like this look better with control under. 🔴 Hip 19/20” across flat at widest point🔴 Length 56” again approximate depends upon breast size and any lift. This dress can not be easily hemmed due to bottom beads. Does it ever show off your shoes!🔵 label states USA 14 (see pictures for all sizes)Beads seem fine to me There will always be a chance of bead loss. I do show one area in back shoulder where some is missing. They can be easily redone. This is a fact in every beaded dress I’ve owned
