About MeThe dark, rich colour of this sumptuous two-piece day dress makes it suitable for both winter days and festive celebrations. The fitted bodice features a fashionable high neck and full-length sleeves with ruffled cuffs. The skirt has a ruched apron front, pleated hem and several layers, which converge at the back to a pouched bustle.
