Description

Harley is a snug-fitting dress that cinches at the waist. It features princess seams instead of waist darts in the front and back, as well as a welt above the bust and functional patch pockets with buttons at the hips.

The round neckline is adorned with a buttoned facing, and the detachable turn-down collar comes with a separate collar stand. Its long, two-piece set-in sleeves have cuffs with buttoned facings. The dress fastens with buttons at the centre front and is fully lined, falling above the knee.
