Lovely Valentino two-piece dress comprises a blouse with an elastic waist and peplum paired with a matching skirt that has a fitted hip and flouncy bottom. The top has a deep V-neck with ties that cross to connect four little bows (these are permanently tied, so you don't have to fret with tying them). It also has long sleeves, three-button cuffs, an elastic waist, and a four-inch-wide peplum made from two layers of chiffon that forms a ruffle around the top of the skirt. It closes with a single button at the back of the neck and several little snaps on the side. The skirt has a great cut that forms an X in the center front with tiny cording between the seams of the X that continues to run around the back of the skirt. Below the cording, the skirt flares out to become quite full at the bottom. It closes with a back zipper. The blouse is two layers of floral chiffon and unlined; the skirt is two layers of floral chiffon with a black chiffon lining. See condition statement below for more information. Labeled 100% silk. Labeled size 8. Measurements indicate this dress could work for size 10 as well. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding individual fit.*

CONDITION
Excellent condition structurally with minor cosmetic flaws. Chiffon is a delicate fabric, so it wasn't unusual to find a few small thread pulls on the sleeves and moreso on the back of the neck (those are mostly hidden by the ruffle around the neckline). The skirt has a couple of very small holes side by side right at the waist, but the peplum completely covers those. We have adjusted our listing price to reflect these minor flaws, so it's a good opportunity to get a top tier designer ensemble for a much lower price that it would otherwise be.
