{"product_id":"almudena","title":"Almudena | Embroidered Tulle Midi Dress with Velvet Bands","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are party dresses you see from across the room and dresses you see up close. Almudena is the second kind: from a distance it is an elegant black midi, and as you get closer the embroidered flowers, the tulle and the velvet bands appear.
