A wonderful example of Muir's work. This dress has rare wizard/ fluted sleeves (similarly seen on the iconic Joanna Lumley photo). The rayon jersey means it is a close fitting slinky dress. There are 15 covered buttons at the back (and the two spare buttons are still attached). The head piece has an O ring at the front and small hook and eyes. Please note I think there would’ve been another section to this head piece as it is too small to connect together on its own. The dress is long, so might need taken up if you’re a shorter person.
Presents beautifully, but has some faint stains (which you can just make out in some of the photos), and a very small pinhole at the neck line. The stains on the skirt are mostly along the hem. The dress is very long, so this could be remedied by a re hemming. Price is reflective of this.
