The shoulders are emphasises through the use of shoulder yolks surrounded by pleating which adds interest and a little puff to the shoulder. This yolk extends all the way along the back of the dress. The keyhole neckline fastens with a press stud and leads to a tapered yolk at the waist which gives extra shape. The skirt is free flowing and comes in a lovely longer length while the sleeves are designed to be three quarter length, perfect for early autumn. The dress fastens with press studs at the side and is unlined and without maker’s labels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust: 34” (tight 36”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist: 24” (tight 25”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHips: 36”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 45”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is in very good condition, however there is a hole at the underarm, a few loose threads and a mark which blends well into the pattern.
