This is what allows the piece to potentially be worn as either a dress or a jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline has no collar and the front is detailed with a wide band on either side of the zipper that has a swooping pattern made out of a cord applied onto the fabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA matching panel extends down the full length of the back with more cording detailing that panel as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe waist is brought in and seamed and then the skirt under that is pleated into that seam. This allows the skirt to be very full and create the shape that you see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle pockets sit on each side of the hip so you can put your hands into the pockets and exaggerate the fullness of the skirt even more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sleeves are wonderful. They are set into a slightly dropped shoulder and they flare out to be quite wide by their ends. I love how the flare of the sleeve picks up the flare of the skirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is lined in a black silk and there is light rounded padding in each shoulder for shape. It zips to close at the front. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a vintage Lacroix IT40, FR38, GB32, US6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeves from the drop shoulder: 17\" and are 13\" around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eDropped shoulders: 20\"\u003cbr\u003eBust: 17\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 12.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 16\" from neck to waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 36\" from neck to hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5780\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
