{"product_id":"night-blooming-purple-dress","title":"Night Blooming Empire Fit Princess Flared","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNight Blooming Empire Fit Dress — fitted on top, room to move below\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers who want a dress that actually holds its shape through the bodice buy this one. The princess seaming front and back means it follows the body instead of hanging off it, and the skirt does the opposite — it releases from the high waist and flares, so you can sit down to dinner or walk a beach path without the hem fighting you. Black, so it travels and photographs well at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — X-Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e — empire waist, fitted through the upper body, flares from the waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — princess seams front and back, sweetheart neckline, zipper closure, H straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% rayon, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one runs small for some people.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's designed to sit snugly across the bust and ribcage, and the princess seams don't give the way a loose shift would. If you're between sizes, or if you carry width through the bust or upper back, take the larger size. The waist seam sits high — just under the bust — so the fit is decided by your bust and rib measurement, not your hips. Below the waist there's no fitting to worry about; the skirt flares out from there and skims. A zip back means you'll want the bodice right, since there's no stretch to rescue a tight fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset dinners, cruise nights, an anniversary out, a wedding you're attending rather than in. The sweetheart neckline and black rayon read dressier than a typical sundress, so it handles a restaurant with a dress code — then works the next afternoon with flat sandals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold wash or dry clean, hang to dry, warm iron if needed.

Black, sweetheart neckline, tailored bodice — it holds up in a restaurant setting far better than a pull-on sundress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the waist sit?\u003c\/strong\u003e High, directly under the bust. That's the empire cut, and it's why the fit hinges on your bust measurement rather than your waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wash it at home?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold water and hang to dry, yes.
