The print is so beautiful. The olive gray-tone and golden-brown outlined leaf pattern on black makes such a fabulous early Spring or Fall addition to your wardrobe. Pair it with some knee high or ankle high boots or booties and tights.

The high collar, pleats and small shoulder pads creates such a flattering silhouette. The fabric is so soft. Not sure what it is but it is like a jersey material. Maybe a cotton blend. Either way it's super soft and has a nice lining in it.

The pleated button cuffs around the wrist makes for some lovely draping around the arms. All in all a really beautifully designed piece. In excellent vintage condition.

OTHER NOTES:

This item DOES NOT include the belt shown in the photo. It is in place to show you what it looks like when belted. I would say with the colours and pattern this dress could be paired with many types of belts.

SIZING:

There are no size markings but I would put this dress at a 3/4 or 4/5 - Small bordering on X-Small.

I am a pretty average small and find that the waistline is a touch higher than my true waist. It still works for me but I have smaller chest. If I was anything bigger than a small B cup the waist would raise up even higher. Please use the measurements I've supplied below for a more accurate reading.
