Stacy Dress
Stacy is a semi-fitted dress with a slightly trapeze silhouette and a free-hanging lining. The silhouette is formed by the side seam as well as the center back seam lines, and the shaping at the bust is achieved with bust darts transferred to the side seams. Stacy has inseam pockets, no fastenings, and the center back seam ends with a slit opening. The dress is sleeveless, has a deep V neckline, and is below-the-knee length.
