{"product_id":"blue-grey-abstract-print-two-piece-dress-and-bolero-jacket-set","title":"Blue Grey Abstract Print Two-Piece Dress and Bolero Jacket Set","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA two-piece that was designed to work as a complete outfit. The \"California\" label, a proud New Zealand made fashion brand of the mid-century era, produced pieces with a confident understanding of how women wanted to dress: polished enough for the office, elegant enough for lunch, and interesting enough to be remembered. This abstract print in cobalt blue, charcoal, grey and white has the quality of an impressionist painting caught in fabric. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe sleeveless dress is fitted and tailored through the bodice with a clean round neckline and skims neatly to the knee. The matching bolero jacket sits over it with a slightly relaxed batwing shoulder and three-quarter sleeves that soften the structure beautifully. A self-fabric bow closes at the neckline, which is exactly the kind of detail that separates considered design from mere coordination. Worn together they are a complete and polished picture. Worn separately, the dress takes a blazer or a vintage coat, and the jacket lifts a simple shift or a plain blouse into something worth noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWear the set to a wedding, a spring racing event, or any occasion where you want to look entirely pulled together. Add nude or navy heels, a structured vintage handbag, and a single piece of jewellery at the ear. The tailored shift silhouette works particularly well if you are consistent in proportion from shoulder to hip and want a clean streamlined line. If you are broader through the shoulder and bust and narrower below the waist, the bolero jacket adds softness to the upper body while the slim skirt keeps the overall silhouette long. If you carry more fullness through the hip and lower half, the fitted bodice and knee-length hem create a long vertical line, and the bolero draws the eye upward to frame the face and neckline beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eKeen to try on?
