Sleeve with cuffs turned back 66 cm (26")

It has a scooped neckline and the bust is slightly gathered at the front and is eased into a shaped midriff panel

The dress is lined but you may want to add some kind of backing to the facings or wear something beneath it

This dress originally had long chiffon sleeves but they were badly damaged and beyond repair
