McCartney 2002 SilkChiffon LayeredEmpireWaist SilverBeadedBowTies CapSleeve Top

About the Item

For her eponymous brand's second collection for Fall/Winter 2002, British Stella McCartney designed this airy layered silk-chiffon empire-waist cap-sleeve rose-color pullover blouse, which was a creative contemporary take on French Napoleon-period dresses from the late-18th Century. Fastening with two sets of drawstring rolled-silk spaghetti-strand ties, the upper ribbons adjust the width of the hand-cut raw-edged ruffled neckline, which can narrow the plunging v-neck keyhole at the decolletage--if not left untied. The longer ribbons below, whose ends are weighted to hang taut with shiny silver-bead appliques, cinch the empire waist with a tied bow. One of those appliques has a bale at its end that enables personalization with the attachment of your own charm. The remaining brand label notes "Made In Italy". While the size and care tags were removed due to the sheerness of the tunic blouse, it is most likely an IT 42, which will also suit a larger or smaller size as practically the only restriction is at the peplum skirt hem.
