Description
Florence is a semi-fitted dress, featuring a straight cut. The front bust darts have been repositioned to the shoulder seam, and there are shoulder darts at the back. It includes waist belt loops and discreet in-seam pockets on the sides. The dress sports a slightly extended shoulder line, designed for shoulder pads. Its long, two-piece set-in sleeves are semi-fitted.
Florence closes elegantly with a double-breasted button front. It showcases a shawl collar, deep V-neckline, and a detachable belt with a buckle. The dress is fully lined in the front and back, while the sleeves remain unlined. Florence gracefully falls to a mid-calf length.
