A lovely little nod to classic tailoring, with a touch of black velvet for good measure! This Fashion Elle vintage dress combines soft charcoal grey with contrasting black velvet at the collar, cuffs and a wonderful row of fabric-covered buttons running right down the front. The gently structured shoulders, long sleeves and shaped waist give it a beautifully tailored appearance, while the narrow skirt falls to a longer length. Turn it around and you'll discover a matching self-fabric tie at the back, allowing you to adjust the waist to your liking. There's also a centre back split for comfortable movement. Quite a smart little number!
