60 silk, 40 cotton. Perma pleats.

So hard to photograph, partly because Ms. Thang and I are too big for this. The back is cut with a yoke so the waist is semi fitted and then above that flares wide.

It has been gently washed, keep it OUT of the dryer. Doesn’t need ironing. Harks back to the time Miyake was bending classic tailoring to get unique shapes. I believe it's from the Plantation era.

44” around underarms, 38” around waist, 48” around hips and 56” around hem. 56 30” long from nape to hem. 22” across shoulders and sleeves are 23” long.

I provide all this information so that you can get it and love it, so I hope you use it. Please ask any questions – that helps me write better listings.

The sewing form measures 38-30-39, FYI.

I am not a professional seller. I do this because I am weak and must have money for shopping. So please check your measurements and understand that I hope to avoid returns – tho I certainly will accept them, and, unless if I've really made a mistake in the factual portion of the description, I will ask you to share the shipping costs. I avoid future relations with people who send things back worn or because they didn’t read the description.

Please keep in mind that eBay keeps up to 20 percent of each purchase for letting me – and you – use this wondrous platform. And that the post office doesn’t ship free for me or eBay; eBay promotes promising it because people think they’re getting a deal with ‘free shipping.’

I also shop here on eBay and try to behave like so many of the great sellers and buyers I've had the privilege and good luck to deal with.
