Working 9 to 5 in this fabulous Coat-Dress, designed for firm but soft fabrics like denim, narrow-wale corduroy and cotton velvet-but also totally gorgeous in heavy crepe, linen or tropical wool. Unlined, narrow A-line Coat-Dress has front & back panel seams and a center back seam. Coat-Dress has an over-sized collar & rever and a choice of short or 3/4 length sleeves, both with pleated sleeve head. Self fabric belt, front button fastening, belt carriers & optional (but highly recommended!) top stitching completes the look. Short dress finishes at the knee; longer version finishes at mid-calf. Wear this super-stylish Coat-Dress with to-die-for shoes and a statement bag for a sharp workday look, or team it with knee-high boots for a casual look-add a turtleneck underneath for a cosy retro-70’s feel!
