A deep wrap-effect V-neckline is framed with coordinating bronze trim, while fine piping travels gracefully over the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe softly defined waist opens into a beautifully fluid midi skirt with central pleating at both the front and back. Long sleeves are finished with small open cuff splits, dark piping and bronze satin trim. Coordinating narrow black and bronze trims provide an exquisite finish around the hemline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the dress is fully lined in lustrous bronze-brown satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original fabric swing ticket remains attached inside the dress, and we therefore believe it has never been worn. It is presented in beautiful vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is labelled a UK 16; however, the 32-inch waist is closer to a modern UK 14.
