Ernest Newman pieces are exceptionally rare and couture quality. The bodice is finely gathered into a crossover surplice neckline with a draped cowl back, cinched at a ruched waistband before releasing into a full, gauzy circle skirt — the kind of dress built to move. Sleeveless, with softly gathered shoulder straps that leave the upper arm bare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: there is water staining at the hem, where moisture has bled and shifted the dye, deepening and distorting the color along the edge. This is a condition issue, not a design feature, and is visible on close inspection. That said, the effect reads more like a soft watercolor gradient than a flaw once the dress is on the body and in motion — the discoloration is concentrated low on a very full skirt, and the drape and volume largely carry attention away from it. There are also small holes in the chiffon that get lost in the volume. A beautiful, wearable dress with honestly disclosed damage, priced accordingly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✂️ M E A S U R E M E N T S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust: up to 36\"\u003cbr\u003ewaist: up to 27\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal length: 48\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits a small medium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Ernest Newman \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: silk chiffon \u003cbr\u003eCondition: see note above \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our pieces are thoroughly inspected and repaired by our in house professional seamstress prior to shipping to ensure your garment is in ready to wear condition upon arrival.
