Description
Eleonora is a loosely-fitted dress, characterised by straight lines and triple-stitch decorative top stitching. The front bust darts have been relocated to the shoulder seams, complementing the classic notched collar with a collar stand. The back features a yoke and a stylish button tab, while the front boasts flapped patch pockets with pleats.
Short dolman sleeves are adorned with cuffs featuring button epaulets. A detachable belt with a buckle is secured with side seam belt loops. Eleonora closes elegantly with buttons and buttonholes at the centre front, falling gracefully above the ankle.
