Versatile and Stylish

$895.

Combining two differently patterned silks in warm tones, this three-piece silk suit offers some versatility, with a full underskirt with pleated hem, a long-sleeved, long bodice jacket with extended peplums, and a silk shawl.  The shawl is abundant in length in in a comfortably contrasting pattern and can be used front the back to the front around the arms or crossed in the front and tied at the back of the waist.  It seems like the dress jacket should close at the back, however reversing that to the front offers an alternate length in the over-skirt.  The jacket has a narrow, ruffled trim in the same fabric, at the neck, closure, cuffs and at the hem.  For a roughly 18″ fashion doll, the entire dress is 14″ long from shoulder to hem, shoulders are 4 3/4″ wide, arms are 5 1/2″ long, the waist is 7 3/4″ approximately, and from wait to hem, the measurement is 10 1/2″.  Excellent condition.
