Wow, this one is a stunner! This dress will be custom made for you in your size and choice of color using a vintage pattern that is dates to 1936. This one has many options! View A- features a sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline. It is gathered under the bust. The back has a dramatic scarf flounce. View B- features a cowl neckline with short or long circular fluttery sleeves with rushing at the sleeve caps. The back has a keyhole slit and buttons at the back neck. Both versions have a slim fit skirt with a raised waistline in front and godets at the hem to create that fabulous mermaid hem. I can make this close on the side with a snap/hook or zipper. It is unlined and comes with a belt.

The jacket is optional. It has a rolled neck collar. The front closes at the neck and waist, your choice of puffed long fitted sleeves or bell sleeves. The skirt is flared and hits at knee length. This jacket is unlined.
