Designer: Exclusively Hand Tailored by SF - Sippy's Fashions - Hyatt Hotel Kowloon, Hong Kong

Size: No size tag but I wear an 8 - 10 & it fit like a dream!

Fabric: No tag but probably a beautiful luxurious Peau de soir

Approximate measurements :

Condition: Overall very good condition. Minimal bead loss - some light soiling several inches below the frogs on the front of the coat, some a little farther down, some soiling in the collar area, INSIDE hem of coat was taken up & it is soiled where the old hem was but the hot pink lining covers it & no one can see it - on the whole the set is in excellent condition but could use a cleaning to freshen it up or could be worn as is if you wanted

Care: Dry clean
