A seemingly simple dress by renown couturier, Pauline Trigère, but her exquisite pattern matching of this eyecatching magenta and green diagonal plaid, and flawless tailoring so that it perfect skims and sculpts around the body, shows why she won many awards during her lifetime, as well as designing costumes for the film, Breakfast At Tiffany's.
Made of a thick wool fabric, lined with silk, this has a small amount of natural stretch due to the slightly looser thick weave.
Fastens at the back with a zip, as well as a hook and eye. Fully lined in the body and knee length, this also has two pockets on the front that, again, are perfectly pattern matched with the plaid.
100% wool
