The Lady Who Lunches (Sheath)
From the description: Interior darts shape this retro-inspired dress. Matching fingerless gloves update the look while keeping it feminine. Wear a slip dress underneath the sheath for modesty or layer the dress over a T-shirt and leggings for a sportier, fashion-forward take.
