The dress falls from the shoulders in a sleek line to the floor allowing you to wear it loose and easy or use the original tie belt to cinch in the waist for more shape

It is how it was when I acquired it so not sure if its a natural flaw of the silk

Limited Edition Lanvin Hawk Stone & Feather Brooch designer-helena-barbieri The dress falls from theThis amazing brooch is a limited edition piece from the early 2000s. It is large and bold and beautifully made. The "hawk" head is formed from a blackened silver colored metal that has a good weight to it. This is embossed with enamel, stones and crystals. It wraps around a blue stone that sits inside the head but is not actually attached you can't take it out but it can move freely within its "cage". An amazing plume of glossy black feathers finish.
