Price reduced! This is a short-sleeved dress. The fabric is quite substantial, so it might be too warm for the height of summer. It appears to be a black and silver checkered pattern, with black threads running horizontally. The silver threads have a glossy sheen. How about pairing it with a light jacket when it's chilly? Thank you. I will add to the description if you leave a comment. Pattern/Design: Checkered Season: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
