An elastic is woven through the top of the neckline so you could also wear it up and on the shoulders if you wished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sleeves extend out from there and are cut to just above the elbow. Their ends have elastic which allows you to change their length on your arm and how they sit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice skims down to an elastic waist and this tops, a another panel of the same fabric that also has an elastic band that goes all the way around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two bands of elastic are what let you choose how high to wear the dress around your waist and hips. You can dramatically change the length from a very long full length to something more like what you see on the runway. Bringing the dress up just allows the silk jersey to drape more over the layer underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is under the final band of elastic, flares out slightly as it reaches its hem. When the dress is laid out flat, it is extra long and then once on adjusting where the elastic band sit determines the final length.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is an absolutely stunning example of his work during this time period and one of my favourite pieces I have ever had in by him.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe versatility and ability to style. The dress in multiple ways is just fantastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is unlined and slips over the head to wear with elastic as described above. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a YSL 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeves: approximately 16\" and they are very full around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eBust: 16-20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eElastic waist: 11-17\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eLower elastic band: 14-22\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eBodice: approximately 15\" from top of natural shoulder to elastic waist and there is 16\" between the two elastic bands\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 70\" from top of natural shoulder to hem and then you can shorten the length by how much you adjust where you wear either elastic band\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5776\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
