About the Item
What at first glance seems like a monastic service uniform is actually so much more, thanks to diamond shape waist insets that create Art Deco angles on close inspection. The flared Caballero gauntlet cuffs and sash waist elevate the style even further. Crisp, clean and masterfully made.
Drop waist dress with draping wrap skirt, tonal pattern bodice and left hip sash tie; wide scooping neckline features 5” Puritan collar with braided cord trim. Long sleeves include 8 ¼” flaring caballero cuffs with matching braided trim and two wrist buttons. Pullover construction with three-snap opening at left waist; 10 back buttons are ornamental only. Unlined.
