The simple shoulder line, is accented by slim internal shoulder pads along each sleeve seam, which set off the mid length inset sleeves, finished with wide turned up cuffs edged with matching red rayon piping.The fitted bodice, is set off by double tailored darts which run up from either side of the cinched in waistline, which draws in with a matching crepe silk belt. The elegant skirt-line draped from gathered smocking stitches below either side of the waistline, creating subtle pleats along the length of the dress.
