Tailored from vibrant lilac satin and sheer lilac chiffon, the top is cut to a sleeveless style with an elegant, wide slash-neck. The top has a button closure at the left shoulder and also fastens under the left arm with a tonal zip. Elaborate tonal embroidery and ribbon work covers it, running along the neckline, around the armholes and over the lilac satin that forms the bottom half of the top. This decadent embellishment creates floral patterns, climbing vines and sweeping curves that recall the Art Nouveau decorative style. The top is lined with a beige silk crepe for modesty. The coordinating skirt is tailored to an ankle-grazing maxi-length from tonal purple silk crepe. It has a purple satin waistband which has a false tab closure at the front and a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasps at the left hip. The skirt is unlined and is semi-sheer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ensemble is in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. Labelled a UK 10, this is only suited to a UK 8 or US 4 and sizes smaller on account of the small waist. The fabric has no stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS TOP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 30 in. (76 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 30 in.
