Some evenings call for a dress as rich and special as the moment itself: the theater lights dimming, the orchestra tuning, the Nutcracker about to begin. In magenta velvet, she'll feel like a true sugar plum princess. A sweetheart neckline and balloon sleeves give it a storybook feel, while the stretch empire waist and hidden pockets keep her comfortable through the whole performance, and a tacked bow at the waist adds the sweetest finishing touch. It's the dress for the ballet, holiday parties, and every dressed-up photo of the season. Details:
