How does a ModGal get her dose of glamorous during daylight hours? She gets her kicks by wearing a slightly shimmering maxi dress with a jean jacket, of course! This short-sleeved, noir maxi dress features a hint of dazzling copper, which is woven into its super smooth texture. A loop at the bottom of its V-neck bust gathers its fabric and creates depth.
