Description
Diana epitomizes a semi-fitted dress design, showcasing a defined waist and a gracefully flaring skirt. Precision is achieved through front and back princess seams, while shoulder darts transferred to the neckline enhance the back silhouette. Adding a practical touch, the front incorporates side pockets. The dress boasts a round neckline and billowy elbow-length sleeves, adorned with pleats at the caps and hems detailed with darts. A refined finish is ensured with facings on the sleeve hems. Completing the ensemble is a free-hanging lining, and the dress is secured with an inconspicuous zipper along the centre back seam. Diana elegantly reaches midi length.

The dress featured in the photo is crafted from dress-weight wool, characterised by its medium weight, excellent drape, and minimal stretch. The fabric blend includes wool, viscose, and elastane.
