Andrew Arkin printed dress set

Crisp, sheer, printed chiffon silk is married to apricot faille to create a warm, golden floral dress & cropped jacket. The dress has a square portrait neckline - gusseted cap sleeves - 22" metal zipper -- the pleated full skirt swish-swishes as you walk. The shortened jacket has elbow-length sleeves - light padding at the shoulders -- two decorative large buttons. Both garments are dart-fitted & fully-lined. The set flourishes a visually-lush, thickly-packed, wild-flower print --- deep-ash-pink, soft-teal, rust-brown and green blossoms, set against a marbled golden ground. Designed by Andrew Arkin Petites of Seventh Avenue, New York.

Delightfully wearable shape, with no obtrusive flaws. Any small faults do not retract from wearability and will be fully-disclosed. Noted minor issue: zipper placket has 2 tiny frays (1/4" & 3/4") along the edge, deep in the skirt. Not noticable, but should be darned, if possible, to avoid further fraying.

** Vintage items are precious, pre-owned pieces of history. Many have unique dyes and handcrafted prints, artisan weaves and intricate hand-tailoring -- details no longer available except in modern couture. Please love & respect your vintage.
