It has a lovely black chiffon bodice with allover glass beading, sequins and an integral sleeveless beige modesty liner with deep neckline. The lined full-length skirt is a black stamped velvet and gently eased onto the bodice. The hand set back zipper is metal as well. A lovely dress for the holidays or any formal event.

Sharp and Chic Pauline Trigere Wool Cape and Skirt Set I really admire Pauline Trigιres work. Her sense of style was great, and her ability to cut and drape was superb. She proved herself a master of the large scale plaid - certainly an area many designers shrink from. This set is so bold - a large scale black and camel plaid in a circular cape with a double breasted bound buttonhole front ( all buttons are functional) and companion straight cut skirt with small waist tucks. The construction is super. The cape is fully lined in black linen, with matching control bands at the side so the folds will always fall as they should at the sides. The skirt is interlined with organza and lined in silk with a handset zipper. Pair this up with a black cashmere turtleneck and s stunning necklace, and you will be noticed! Labels: Pauline Trigere and Hallι Bros. Specialty Shop Condition: Cape is excellent. Skirt has been let out beautifully - I had to turn it inside out to tell. Hem has been restored to original position. Size: Cape - Shoulders 16 CB to Hem 36 Hem circumference 136 Skirt: Waist: 25, Hips: 39, Waist to Hem: 22 , Hem circumference: 40 Price: $375 |
