The open free flowing silhouette and super-thin cotton make it the ultimate choice for a hot summer day. And I know I'm not the only one who is a sucker for a colorful print on a black background. Then there's the split flutter sleeves and the side hem slits that make it even more breezy. Dresses like this that are tres chic and comfortable and allow for overindulging at a restaurant and not causing you to have to hold in your stomach when you get up from the table are always my favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SwaneeGRACE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48124598845670,"sku":null,"price":278.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6177\/1238\/files\/tedlapidusdress2-1.jpg?v=1787278278"},{"product_id":"blah-blah","title":"1970s Jean Charma Black Jersey Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1970s Jean Charma Black Jersey Dress\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWide scoop neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpaghetti straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGathered flowing skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetallic gold ribbon trim around hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden hip pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-tacked back center zipper closure topped off with a hook \u0026amp; eye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscovered in France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLabel:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eJean Charma Paris | Made in France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFabric:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eViscose Jersey\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust - 34\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist - 26\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHips-open\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength - 50\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eApproximate modern size:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eSmall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eExcellent\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll Sales Final\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e_______________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE STORY BEHIND OUR CHOICE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a long day at the flea as stalls were preparing to close, I spotted this hanging outside a stall. My eye sometimes glosses over black garments but those gold stripes and simple chic silhouette compelled me to go over and check it out up close up. As soon as I touched it I could tell it was a very high-quality jersey and then I noticed the hand-tacked back zipper and the deal was sealed.  While I couldn't unearth any solid information about this brand, I was able to find a few other pieces with this label online and my suspicion that she was known for quality, great design and fine tailoring was confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SwaneeGRACE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48139484889318,"sku":null,"price":398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6177\/1238\/files\/1970sfrenchjerseydress-4_ad668d78-b928-40f0-8a9c-1553bcad8102.jpg?v=1787660381"}],"url":"https:\/\/shopswaneegrace.com\/collections\/dresses.oembed","provider":"SwaneeGRACE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
