HP 1028 Metropolitan Good Times Dress, Tunic & Top

HP 1028 Metropolitan Good Times Dress, Tunic & Top
Good times indeed in these flattering and versatile pieces, inspired by a great collection from Diane Von Furstenburg, and designed for drape-y knits like merino or cashmere wool, viscose, rayon or silk(y) jerseys. Relaxed-fit styles have a slightly dropped shoulder, back boat neck and a gently shaped waist. We’ve given you three different sleeves, necklines and lengths for maximum fashionablity. Sleeves can be cap, below elbow or wrist-length with a ruched cuff, and choose from a classic boat neckline, the half placket or tie-front.Top finishes on the high hip with a deep band;Tunic ends at mid-thigh; and the Dress hits *just* below the knee. Tunic & Dress have deep stitched hems, optional side seam pockets and tie or in-and-out belt. Wear these lovely pieces year-round: in light weight jerseys for the Summer, layered over a skinny sweater or T-Shirt for Spring or Fall, or in heavier weights for Winter. Fabulous!
