I'll be wearing this dress all season long!  What's not to love?    It's attributes are typically reserved for a more casual look...i.e., the lace-up neckline with grommets, short sleeves, shirt tail hemline, and best of all...stretchy fabric!  This one got an upgrade thanks to the fancy, irresistibly oh, so soft to the touch midnight navy velvet!       How cute would this be for lunching with the girls or wearing on your next shopping trip.   The poly-spandex fabric packs well, too.  So be sure to bring this dress for sight-seeing on your upcoming vacation.  When the weather...
