Design:
The contrast between the brilliant purple lace and a nude, sheer side panel paired with a subtly shaped seam sets the design off and flatters many types of shapes. The off-the-shoulder design is very sexy and feminine.

This dress is designed to flatter many body types and shapes by enhancing your natural curves & hiding some problem areas. A friend tried this on & she has a fairly straight figure. She looked stunning and the dress gave the illusion of curves!

Quality:
The seams are very well sewn and even with no loose threads or flaws. The lace pattern is pretty evenly matched up to each other on each of the back and side vertical hems. There is about 1/16" of a difference on the side hem, but it honestly is not noticeable unless you are really picking the dress apart.

The lace edges are finished with a shaped lace edging that lays flat against the skin. It matches the color with an added little bit off shimmery accent. The sheer, nude panel has a shiny, elastic 1/4" edging. The edging is on both the top and bottom of the dress, finishing it out nicely. These small details mean a lot to me as far as showing the higher quality and care of the designer and company.

There is always a risk of snagging when there is lace and fine, sheer mesh material. With proper care, this dress should last a reasonable amount of time. I am still wearing a dress similar in material to this one that is also made by Escante' that I have had for three years. I would estimate that I wear it about 2-4 times per month, and sometimes more in the summer! In my opinion, the cost per wear, versatility of the dress and quality is definitely worth the purchase.

Material:
The material is made of 91% Nylon and 9% Elastine, or spandex/lycra material, which adds strength, durability and stretch to the nylon and makes it more durable. This dress has a slightly shaped cut, with the waist area tucked in slightly to add a feminine shape in this area.

This blend allows it to easily keep its original shape. The material is also great for storage and traveling. It does not wrinkle, is very easy to care for and also helps to hide many figure flaws.

The stretch of the material does allow for a wider variety in body shapes and sizes. This particular dress, however, is only available in a medium size, so please double check your measurements with mine to make sure you will fit within the maximum size.

Fit:
The dress fits me comfortably, but is a bit tight in the bust. There is no support and that is a way of gaining enough to keep them in place. I love the dress, even though it did ride up a bit in the back the more I moved around. It finished riding up at about an inch or two and was still fully under my cheeks about 3".

For public wear, I suggest wearing a matching or contrasting tank top, tube top, bra or other item to hide your nipples and breasts. This is sheer and see through materials, even though the pattern and color of the lace does help to make them a bit harder to see. You can easily wear this with shorts, jeans or a mini-skirt in public.

Care & Storage:
The care instructions are different than my cleaning method. I believe that the way I care for my older dress is the reason I am still wearing it, and since I have quite a bit of lingerie that does require hand washing, it is no problem for me to add this and wash it with them.

-I hand wash my dress with Woolite, Dreft or Dona Lingerie Wash then rinse using cold water for both actions. I gently fold the material over and lightly run my hand down the garment, pressing in to remove the excess water. This works well in a bathtub or shower stall. Air dry the dress by laying it flat on a rack, draped over a chair or clothesline. I do not recommend hanging this up to dry as it will stretch the material. When traveling and a quick airing out is in order--hang it in the fresh air for about 30 minutes. I store mine rolled up gently in my lingerie drawer.

-Escante's instructions are to machine wash in warm water on gentle cycle. You may use non-chlorine bleach if needed. Wash separately, do not wring out or twist, line dry. Iron on low temperature if necessary.

With the Purple Persuasion Dress laying flat, the measurements are:
---Top of shoulder strap to bottom of hem: 28 1/2" long.
---Top of bust diameter: 26 1/2".
---Waist: 24"
---Hip: 30"
---Hem: 26"

There is a significant amount of stretch to the material. It will stretch lengthwise about 10-11" and the width will stretch another 15-18" until the material is very tight. I would suggest that your measurements be under **Bust: 44D, **Waist: 36", **Hips: 42".

I love this sexy dress! I ended up wearing this over a black tank top (tucked one of the straps in for the off shoulder side), and it looked absolutely amazing!! I got so many compliments and had to think fast about where I go this--too bad I just went down south and can't remember, lol!!!
