THE ALBAThe Alba Puff Sleeve Midi Dress With Embellished Bow Details Hope & Ivys stunning The Alba dress is crafted from plush black velvet with sparkling beaded bow embellishments at the waist for a playful feel. This midi length style is cut to a flattering pencil silhouette with a shirred back waist panel and back vent for comfortable movement. We love how the glittering adornments are echoed by the thoughtfully placed bow tie at the nape of the neck.
