Jovani 49564 Off-the-Shoulder Floral Gown with Draped Panel

Jovani 49564 is an off-the-shoulder gown that takes its width from a panel rather than from the skirt. A wide folded band runs from one shoulder diagonally across the chest, leaving the other shoulder bare, and the same band forms a short folded sleeve on one arm. Below it the bodice is fitted with soft gathers pulled toward the opposite hip, and those gathers define the waist in place of a seam. The skirt stays close through the hip and drops nearly straight, opening at a slit that rises to just above mid-thigh, while a separate draped panel gathers at the hip and falls in soft folds past the hem into a train behind. The back is fully covered and closed, with the band continuing straight across the upper back.
