The jacket is classic box cut that is detailed with the most enormous fabric covered buttons running down the front. I love the square from neckline and how the upper back is left bare at the back. This gives it a wonderful texture and the fabric has just enough weight to help keep that structural shape but is still very light. The silk has gold and silver thread woven through it with a matte background. This is all created by vertical seaming that runs from the waist seam down.
It is cut to hug the bodice and then the skirt flares out quite a bit as it nears the hem. The dress has a simple line to it that allows the fabric to take center stage. The cut of both the box jacket and little flared skirt dress is just so classic and timeless it could be from a runway today.
It has taken a classic little cut dress and jacket set and turned it into the perfect chic little cocktail number. I love the fabric especially with its mix of silver and gold on black.
