Description

Caroline is a figure-hugging dress with a gentle flare at the hem, achieved through bias cutting. Its front showcases bust darts and a central seam, while the back boasts shoulder and waist darts, and another central seam. The round neckline features a keyhole opening and a button with a button loop closure at the back. The dress is elegantly finished with long, close-fitting sleeves that gently flare at the cuffs. Caroline gracefully falls to above-ankle length.
