You know... Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde? Or do you prefer to imagine the less larcenous Claudette Colbert? Either woman was famous for this tight sweater dressing! Now, I have to confess, I didn't take the photos of this dress since my mannequin has no legs... and without them, the knit skirt just wouldn't hang correctly. I suppose it's the same thing with the arms as well. But I'm pleased you can see how it's supposed to look. Simply smashing! The needlework is amazing...so beautifully done. The color is a dusty rose. Wide, ribbed and ruffled collar. Keyhole neckline closes with a single snap (has four tiny loops --meant for buttons?). Net-like crochet work is very delicate. Long, full sleeves end in a covered button cuff. Ribbed waistband. Slim, curvy, figure-hugging skirt is quite long. There is a narrow elastic band at the waist. Hemline is detailed with 2 inch band of fancy crochet. Overall, the sweater and skirt are in Excellent condition with only tiny snags, but nothing important. Measures: SKIRT - 26" waist (will stretch to about 36"), 32" hips (will stretch to 42"), 36" in length. SWEATER:14" across the shoulders, 25" sleeves, 34" bust (should fit up to a 38"), 25" waist (will stretch to about 36"), 20" in length from shoulder to waist.
