This dress came to me in its original unworn state and is so new looking it could have been pulled from a rack yesterday! A classic wiggle silhouette it is seamed to fit and follow your every curve. The skirt is long and lean and has a little kick pleat at the back but no real opening as to not ruin the line. The waist is formed through vertical seaming and runs up into the bodice which is just wonderful! Flattened satin piping has been taken and draped from slanted seaming on either side of the bust and crossed over to create that fantastic bust detailing! The shoulders are made of this same piping and please look at the close-ups closely - you will see that the shoulder piping actually lines with with where the piping n the bust is set! Amazing the attention to detail then. Really a fabulous piece† and in immaculate condition.
