Comes with a matching scarf that wears beautifully a multitude of ways including at the neck, at the waist or in the hair. Beautifully made and entirely hand finished with a grosgrain waist tape on the interior. Closes at the side with a hidden zipper. 

Excellent condition. A few small, incredibly subtle spots of color bleed at the front waist, but reads as part of the fabric design due to the hand painted effect. One tiny mark at side bodice. Presents beautifully.
