This interesting piece is a black sleeveles stretchy shell with the attached plum color jacket from the same material. There is a built in belt with some ruching where the belt starts at the sides. The jacket is shorter than the shell and shorter in the back than the front. The material is stretchy and the jacket drapes nicely. True to size, but can easily fit an 18W as well. Can be worn as a dress with shear hose or tights, I also wore it with cigarette pants and flats for the office or dressed it up with heels for the evening and loved it. Gently worn, good condition. Some pulled thread on the neck line and on one of the sleeves, depicted in the pictures.
