Semi fitted to the waist, with skirt gored in panels for fulness, and side metal zip fastening. The bodice is beautifully hand embroidered with florals in wool, glossy yarn, and chenille, and features pads in the shoulder for that classic silhouette. Long sleeves are gathered to flat cuffs to ‘billow’ slightly, and are finished with the same wonderful embroidery and buttons. A single button fastens the neck, with more embroidery on the small pointed collar.
