Style: Sleeveless catsuit with a turnover high collar, and wide legged trousers.
Features: The bodice has got two bust darts at the front and two waist darts at the back. The trousers are attached to the bodice with gathers and deep box pleats at the centre front and back, giving the illusion of it being a long dress.
