And as good as it looks in these photos it is phenomenally better in person. The photos do not do the silk or the amount of movement and beauty of the cut full justice at all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe silk used on the dress is extraordinary and is all cut on the bias. T\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ehe pattern runs entirely over both pieces and combines deep chocolates with the palest of pinks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTo achieve the final effect the design would have been created specifically for the pieces and how it lays over the body before the silk was cut. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe top of the set is done in a halter on both the front and back that angle up from under the arm into the neck. A long extended tie is set into the neck and this ties to the side. It is all done to have it feel as if you just somehow magically wrapped a silk scarf over yourself and tied it around the neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIts bias cut allows it to simply skim over the bust, curve in slightly past the waist and then flare out again over the top of the hips.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI have tucked it in for these photos but I also took a photo of it on its own so you can see how it falls. I also took a separate shot of the skirt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe skirt is completely cut on the bias and falls beautifully over the body once on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe band at the waist flips inwards and has elastic so it is incredibly easy to wear. The silk curves out and over the hips. It comes in slightly just below that and then the lower skirt is all set in with panels of silk that are attached on different angles. This gives it incredible fullness and allows it to open up around you when you move. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIt is cut longer at the back so you get this pretty sweeping line around you and this adds to the movement that it has.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBoth pieces are unlined. The waist of a skirt has elastic and the top has no closures other than tying at the neck. There is a built-in shelf piece inside the top. The bias cut of both pieces will allow them to drape around you once on. I have put the range of movement when laying flat below. I see some slight discolouration around the collar and some tiny marks on one side. I have photo the marked spot with the top lying flat and also with it on the dress form so you can see that once on it drapes and hides them for the most part. So that is not two sets of marks - that is one set photoed twice. There is also one other tiny mark on the top. That is also photoed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBoth pieces are tagged a Cavalli vintage 46.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eExcellent overall condition with the notes above.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003eBust: 16-18.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 14-17.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eBottom hem: to 20.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eLength: approx 25\" from neck to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSkirt\u003cbr\u003eElastic waist: 14-20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: 18-22\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 44\" from waist to front hem, 55\" to the longest point of the back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-LRG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5807\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
