{"product_id":"macduggal_8288","title":"Mac Duggal 8288 Tea-Length Illusion High-Neck Ruffle Fit-and-Flare Dress","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Dress: Mac Duggal 8288\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 8288 is a tea-length fit-and-flare gown that makes a real impression through texture and movement rather than heavy embellishment. The bodice is built with a sheer illusion high neckline in fine mesh, densely layered with ruffled fringe trim arranged in a scrolling, floral-inspired pattern. Short puffed sleeves carry the same ruffle treatment, keeping the look cohesive from shoulder to waist. The skirt opens up in horizontal tiered ruffle rows that cover the full a-line silhouette, so every step catches the light and the eye. The back is fully covered in the same mesh-and-ruffle fabric — a modest, polished finish that works just as well from behind as from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFit \u0026amp; Silhouette\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 8288 is cut as a fit-and-flare a-line, which means it follows the body through the bodice and waist, then releases into a full ruffled skirt at the hip. The tea-length hem lands between the knee and the ankle — a practical length that photographs beautifully and moves well for dancing or a reception dinner. The high neckline gives this dress excellent coverage through the chest and shoulders, and the short sleeves add another layer of modesty without feeling restrictive. There is no boning in the bodice, so the fit depends on the garment's own structure and a well-fitted size choice rather than a cinching corset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base fabric is a fine sheer mesh layered over tulle, giving the dress its soft, lightweight hand. Across the bodice, short ruffled fringe trim is applied densely in a scrolling arrangement that reads as a floral or organic motif — the effect is intricate and decorative without any beading, sequin, or hot-stone embellishment. The skirt is built from horizontal tiers of the same ruffle fabric, each row slightly overlapping the next to create volume and movement. Embroidery detail supports the floral pattern in the bodice trim. The overall surface is heavily textured with the ruffle work, which is the defining look of this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea-length fit-and-flare a-line silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllusion high neckline in sheer mesh with dense ruffled fringe trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort puffed sleeves covered in matching ruffle trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal tiered ruffle rows across the full skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull high-back coverage — fabric covers the entire back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloral-inspired scrolling embroidery detail on the bodice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo beading, sequin, or boning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in periwinkle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Occasion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMac Duggal 8288 is one of the strongest wedding-guest options in this collection. The high neck, short sleeves, and full back coverage check every modesty box, while the tiered ruffle skirt keeps it festive and memorable. It is a natural fit for formal weddings, black-tie events, galas, and engagement parties. The tea-length cut also makes it practical for mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom duties — comfortable enough for a full day of celebrations, polished enough for the photos. Sweet-16 and debut occasions work well with the a-line silhouette and the floral ruffle detailing. For prom and formal dances, the structured high neckline and dramatic ruffle skirt make this a standout choice that reads sophisticated rather than overtly party-ready. The periwinkle colorway is a soft, dusty blue-purple that photographs well in both natural and artificial light and pairs cleanly with silver or gold accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mac Duggal","offers":[{"title":"2 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416655041,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-2","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416687809,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-4","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416720577,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-6","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416753345,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-8","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416786113,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-10","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416818881,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-12","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416851649,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-14","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416884417,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-16","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":50025416917185,"sku":"macduggal_8288-Periwinkle-18","price":566.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/9541\/files\/8288-Periwinkle-AB_cf567a1b-1587-4048-9aca-6938f6e424ad.jpg?v=1772425756","url":"https:\/\/marlasfashions.com\/en-us\/products\/macduggal_8288","provider":"MarlasFashions.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
