Stepping out of your car onto black velvet heels, you catch a peek of the mostly noir-dressed party inside. You confidently pause, then promenade forth with the side train of this raspberry dress by Max and Cleo heralding your haute entrance. The guests fall silent as they watch the girl wearing the edgy, gathered-X waistline and sultry sweetheart neckline, which you can count on to stay in place all night due to its no-slip tape and supportive boning. Soon, the crowd carries on with their conversations, but every time you pass a new group, a wave of satisfaction sweeps over you, for their darting looks toward your precious string of pearls, your shimmering shawl, and of course, this lined dress, are nothing but admiring!
