Modern and chic. The pleating and gathered chiffon at the waist adds flattering definition. This is a great style for curvy women. Because it's got flow without too much volume and is designed to hit at the ankle, we recommend it for petites as well. You can chose your size, 0 to 26, or provide measurements for made to order. It comes in more than 30 colors! Buy from JJ's House.
