Valentino Spring 2008 Polka Dot Green Dress designer-jean-patou It is literally cut to

It is literally cut to the waist and the panels of fabric that cover the breast and back are set with a gap between them so the plunge takes centre stage on both sides

Hips at the seam 5" below the waist seam: 17" flat across from side seam to side seam

The jacket is cut loose and easy through the upper body as was the style during this time period and then the waist is nipped in

The quilting technique used on this dress is distinctive and it was this feature that allowed me to find the date of the collection
