This is your listing: formal evening gown

 You are mistaken about the title.Very skimpy title, no keywords to speak of. You could revise it to make your item more findable. And you could fix your listing, as well. Nobody is going to want to buy a dress without the slightest clue as to measurements.

The word "teal" shows up only in your Description text, not in the title or Item Specifics, so a search that includes that word won't find your listing unless you've checked off the extra box to include the description in the search.
