One of those perennial favorites because it's flattering on many body types, and a great value, too. The scuba crepe material provides some support, the sleeveless style makes it bra friendly, and the ruching at the waist with the ruffle down the side is just a great, timeless look. Comes in several colors in addition to the bordeaux. Sizes 2-16.
