Much more fabulous in real life! This is an exquisite python design stretch plisse, with a puckered texture and stretch in the width only. Beautiful quality, and quite fashion forward! The color is a an antique gold/warm taupe (PANTONE 14-1012 is in a similar color tone). It has a slight sheen, almost a metallic look, but it's very sophisticated--not gaudy. Make a fitted jacket or bodice, suit or skirt, or wild pants! Dry cleaning recommended.
