École De Curiosités | Marie Dress in Black Habotay Silk Cotton

Oh, the places you will go in this dress; there are not enough adjectives to describe how truly fantastic it is.  The outer of the dress is made from a silk cotton blend while the dress is fully lined in cotton.  There is gathering throughout the dress: around the neckline and all around the waist.  There are folded pleats towards the skirt hem, which adds a nice decorative element.  There are buttons along the back of the neck.  The sleeve construction is quite unique - they have a dolman front with and underarm gusset, and from the back there is a normal drop sleeve/shoulder line.
