It comes with its matching separate inner slip that acts as the lining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is very easy to wear despite its dramatic presence. It is cut very loose and easy through the entire body and the sleeves are phenomenal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA neat little collar made of the same silk chiffon curves around the back of the neck. At the front the neckline sits in a fantastic plunge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe body of the dress is loose and easy with inset seams that start under the arm area and run to the hem. This gives the dress a slight bit of shape through the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are two layers of silk chiffon stacked on top of each other. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween the seam and the outermost edges side, the chiffon is open fully down the sides from the cuffs to the hem. This adds incredible movement around you as you move since it allows the layers of chiffon to catch the air as you move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou slip your hands through cuffs and each one closes with a single silk covered button at their ends. When you move your arms the entire caftan from under the cuffs moves as well. From there it swoops down to the hem and the open sides create a pretty draping from the cuff to the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the back it falls in one swoop of fabric to give an almost caped effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn underneath the outer dress is a simple V-neck bias cut silk slip in single layer of the same silk chiffon. It is so well-made that if you found a nude underslip you could probably wear it as its own piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe movement and boldness of the design is amazing to see. Everything about this dress has a feel of organic movement and drama. It is a remarkable dress and even more stunning on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe outer dress is made out of two layers of silk chiffon. The inner slip acts as the lining and it is made out of a single layer. Both pieces slip over the head to wear with no closures. The outer layer is tremendously voluminous and its easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes. On a smaller frame it will just drape more. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a modern Valentino 40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOuter Dress\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: approximately 24\" and they are full and open around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eBust-hips: to 27\" flat across from the inner side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 62\" from neck to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eInner slip\u003cbr\u003eBust: 16-18\" flat across from the inner side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 15\" flat across from the inner side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 21\" flat across from the inner side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 62\" from top of shoulder to hem\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: The outer caftan is OSFA and the inner slip is XS-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5794\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
