Fall in Velvet

ASOS has always been my go to, especially when I need something within a couple of days. The two day shipment is marvelous.  I was looking for a nude velvet midi. Velvet is a perfect silky, smooth material. It is usually made by weaving two thicknesses of material, and different types of fibers at the same time to give it that rich feel. It is considered a very luxurious material because of all of the handmade work that goes into it. Here is a little history of a velvet.
After sorting through the category of dresses. I came across this one, product code:916093. I really loved the length of it and I really liked the back. I love a low cut back so that instantly caught my eye. The dress came to my door step within a couple of days. I received it on a Friday. The birthday dinner that i need the dress for was on Saturday night. The dress is very soft and it has some stretch with the low cut back, wrap design. I tried it on and the fit of it was great. It felt really soft on the skin and very comfortable considering that 90% of the dress consists of polyester and the rest is elastane. The front of the dress seemed sort of plain and that the necklace I had on didn't really add any value to the look. I looked at the back of the dress and the idea of having the low cut in front had me question if I could pull off a v plunge look. I turned the dress around and as a result had the low back in the front. It was a little too plunged for me so I used a mini safety pin to secure.
