{"product_id":"macduggal_56243","title":"Mac Duggal 56243 Beaded Embroidery Fit-and-Flare Short Sleeve Dress","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Dress: Mac Duggal 56243\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 56243 is a short fit-and-flare dress in dusty rose that keeps things polished and sweet without trying too hard. The rounded scoop neckline sits high enough to feel covered and refined, trimmed with a delicate band of beading and embroidery. Short sleeves finish at the same level of detail — beaded and embroidered cuffs that tie the whole look together. Down the center front, a vertical strip of beaded embroidery runs the full length of the bodice, punctuated by four small fabric bow appliqués. The full flared skirt falls above the knee and moves with ease. This is a dress that feels put-together from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFit \u0026amp; Silhouette\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 56243 follows a fit-and-flare cut that skims the body through the bodice and then opens into a full, flowy skirt. The structure comes from the fabric itself — a smooth, firm stretch jersey that holds its shape and sits comfortably against the body without being tight. The silhouette is consistently flattering: the nip at the waist gives definition, and the flared skirt adds movement below. This style runs standard sizing. If you are between sizes, sizing up is the safer call — a little extra room through the skirt is easy for a tailor to take in, while too-snug through the bodice is harder to fix. The short-sleeve cut provides light coverage at the shoulder, making it a comfortable, covered option for events where a sleeveless dress feels like too little.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base fabric on Mac Duggal 56243 is a smooth stretch jersey — firm enough to hold a clean silhouette but with enough give to move well through the hips and skirt. The matte, crepe-like surface reads refined and photographs cleanly without picking up glare. The embellishment is intentional and controlled: beading and embroidery trim the neckline, finish the cuffs, and run in a single vertical strip down the center front. Four small bow appliqués sit along that strip, adding a subtle feminine detail that reads sweet rather than fussy. This is accent-level embellishment — precise and purposeful, not all-over coverage. Dusty rose is a muted, soft pink with a slightly warm, dusty undertone that reads more grown-up than bright pink in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort fit-and-flare silhouette, above the knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded scoop neckline with beaded and embroidered trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort sleeves with matching beaded cuff detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-front vertical beaded embroidery strip with four bow appliqués\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth stretch jersey base fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull, flared skirt with easy movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModest, covered aesthetic — appropriate for a wide range of events\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Occasion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 56243 is the kind of dress that works for a wide range of events precisely because it is modest, structured, and not overdone. It is a strong homecoming choice — festive enough for the dance floor, polished enough for photos. It works equally well for semi-formal school events, after-prom parties, bat mitzvahs, and grade-8 graduations. The covered neckline and short sleeves also make it a genuine wedding-guest option for daytime or cocktail-hour receptions where a more exposed dress would feel out of place. Style it simply: a low heel or block-heel sandal, a small clutch, and minimal jewelry let the dress lead. The dusty rose colorway pairs naturally with gold, champagne, and warm-toned accessories. If your group is coordinating looks, this style reads cohesive alongside other soft neutrals or muted pastels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mac Duggal","offers":[{"title":"0 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435594945,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-0","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435627713,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-2","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435660481,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-4","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435693249,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-6","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435726017,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-8","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435758785,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-10","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Dusty Rose","offer_id":50025435791553,"sku":"macduggal_56243-DustyRose-12","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/9541\/files\/56243-DustyRose-AB_967a637a-dedc-4251-b396-767c8da2fe40.jpg?v=1772425825","url":"https:\/\/marlasfashions.com\/en-us\/products\/macduggal_56243","provider":"MarlasFashions.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
