Waist: approx 14" flat across from side seam to side seam

The jacket is a solid blue with stark white top stitching - a Valentino signature

The colors are bright but without being too much and I love how it goes from a classic

1960s Mr Blackwell Caped Sleeve Dress Labeled and Designer Waist: approx 14" flat acrossAn amazing Mr. Blackwell that is just outstanding! The sleeves are of course what makes it just a jewel of a dress! they are each insanely wide, extravagant, dramatic things that are cut like giant cones with the back draping far lower then the front! These are balanced by a simple cut through the body of the dress. A high scooped neck and a straight cut body that skims over the bust and hips. The tie belt is wide and can be used to cinch in the waist
