It is backed with a stiffening fabric and attached

The skirt flows down to the ground in a beautiful A-line that creates length and leanness

It closes with hidden snaps down the front that continue along one side of the waist

This was purchased by me from a New York dealer who bought it from the original owner who showed a picture of herself with Fabrice while wearing this dress

1970s Valentino Knit Cape withTie Neck designer-alfred-bosand Modern Sizing equivalent: MED-LRG (8-12)This is perhaps the perfect knit cape! It is by Valentino so that is already one strong reason for perfection status and then the rest is due to the perfect cut and drape of the knit. It is just heavy enough to be able to hold the shape and drape perfectly but otherwise lightweight and since it is a soft wool knit it is the perfect warmth for cool evenings. It ties at the neck, slightly off side and the front and back are dipped slightly longer.
