Cut halter style you step into it and then it hooks and ties at the bottom of the deep front plunge

Sleeves: 28" but come up when cuffs are buttoned

You could get a little more room on the neck by moving the buttons probably up to 1/2-3/4" depending on where you place them

The volume through the skirt is achieved by flat wide set pleats that circle all the way around you

It is truly amazing and a one of a kind piece of art
