Here is how the regal style was described on the Issa website (before it was sold out):

“Electric blue Issa dress is sassy, a perfect special occasion dress and the colour is amazing. Issa has built up a reputation for getting the ‘fit’ perfect to the body, the designer understands the body and an Issa dress will flatter your shape no matter what shape or size you are. With Issa once you understand the twist and drape that works best with your body you will be a customer for life.”

The dress featured three-quarter sleeves with a cascading ruffle down the front and an exposed zipper, also on the front.  As we originally noted in describing the dress, it is unremarkable on the hanger, it definitely is one of those styles that needs to be put on before one can render an opinion on it.
