Embroidered Mock Jacket Cocktail Dress

The dress is pretty. However, the bottom layer is jersey fabric. Very cheap material. The top layer is much better quality and well made. Taking it off is optional, but if you do, you'll end up wearing a very cheap, thin, almost see-through dress made in China. I expected better fabric from Nordstrom.

This appeared to have a jacket, but it is sewn into the seam of the back zipper. The outer “jacket” was too long and I had to have the jacket altered in the length and put two clear snaps on the jacket in the front. I folded the jacket down to have a V neckline for the jacket. I got compliments at my son’s wedding, but the initial design was not to my liking. After the alterations it was a win.
