I simple adore the color of this dress. I love it when I find a great looking gown in a color other than black or red.

This jade green gown features a halter top and a tie at the waist. It’s sexy and sophisticated without being overdone. If you are looking for something a little different wear to your next evening event, this Calvin Klein gown is a hot choice.
