Description
Sylvie is a semi-fitted dress with a cinched waist, waistline seam, faux wrap front, and waist pleats. It showcases a double-layer yoke at the back, with the shoulder seam shifted forward. The bodice gathers at the front and back waist, while the front skirt consists of overlapping sections with pleats on the left-hand side seam.
This dress features a fold-over collar, collar stand, deep V-neckline, and a slightly extended shoulder line. Its long, semi-fitted set-in sleeves have pleated bottoms and bias-bound slits, ending with cuff closures. The dress securely closes with an invisible zipper along the left-hand side seam, and it falls above the knee.
