This is a sleeveless brown dress. You can stylishly wear this for a day out or a trip to the local supermarket. The waist is elastic, making it very comfortable. It has a simple design, but above all, the fabric is very smooth, and I think you'll find it to be thinner than it appears in the photos. I'm sorry, I don't know the brand. Both my sister and I only tried it on once and haven't worn it since. There are no pets or smokers in the house.
