**● About Garment Parameters / Size** https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/112788138/O1CN01s9kDai29zFk5tZ30l_!!112788138.jpg **● About the Design** Fabric: 100% Polyester The design combines a simple, clean vest with a pleated half-skirt. The deep V-neckline is designed to elegantly flatter the neck and beautifully showcase layered inner pieces. Decorative welt pockets are integrated into the side seams of the waist, adding dimension to the upper body. The placket line on the skirt is slightly off-center to the right, creating a visually asymmetrical aesthetic. It features a full button-down closure, with round, vintage-inspired brown buttons that offer both a retro feel and ease of wear. To enhance the figure's proportions, the waistband has been raised by 5cm according to the golden ratio, extending the skirt's length and creating a visually elongating effect. Beneath the high waistband, the skirt hem is fully pleated. (The pleats are crafted using an electro-pleating technique, ensuring they hold their shape. For maintenance, a quick steam with a garment steamer after drying will restore the pleats.) These pleats, reminiscent of JK uniform style, lend a refined elegance. The overall silhouette of the vest dress is relaxed, allowing for a sweater to be layered underneath during late autumn. The skirt length falls around the model's calves, easily manageable for those 155cm and taller. Styling Ideas: For the mild chill of early autumn, pair it with a lightweight shirt. The model showcases this with a pleated double-collar shirt, offering a distinctly British feel. Additionally, the vest dress pairs beautifully with our puff-sleeve tops, creating a stunning ensemble. In late autumn, it can be matched with a sweater. In colder weather, wear it as an inner layer beneath a coat, allowing the pleated hem to peek through for a touch of vintage sophistication. This vest dress is a truly versatile piece, offering excellent value. We highly recommend it. :) PS: A small note regarding the pleating process. The intricate steps and techniques involved, especially the ironing, are quite time-consuming. The artisan at the factory mentioned she can only iron three pieces per hour. Therefore, the waiting time for this pleated vest dress might be longer than anticipated. We kindly ask for your patience if you choose to pre-order. XD PS2: The skirt portion is not a complete wrap; it features a front opening. Please refer to the last image for details, as some customers may have overlooked this aspect. **● Model Information** Height: 165cm Weight: 46kg Shoulder Width: 39cm Waist: 64cm Hips: 82cm Wearing Size: S **● Washing Instructions** Hand wash in warm water / Dry clean Dark-colored fabrics may experience slight color bleeding upon the first wash, which is normal.

Garment measurements are taken by hand and may have slight discrepancies (within 2-3cm) depending on the production batch. These variations are considered normal and not indicative of quality issues. **● About Notes** All products in our design studio are independently designed, from fabric and accessory selection to working with manufacturers. We are personally involved in every step. The fabrics used are primarily natural and eco-friendly. Before shipping, all garments are re-ironed, packaged, and inspected. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding your purchase. **● About Shipping Time** If the item is in stock, we will ship your order within 1-2 days. As our garments are produced in small batches, we may occasionally encounter situations where the current batch is sold out and the next batch is still in production. In such cases, we will ship your order after the production is complete and has passed our quality inspection. The waiting period for shipping can range from approximately 5 to 14 days. If you have any questions about the shipping timeline after placing your order, please feel free to contact us for confirmation. **● About Transportation** Under normal circumstances, you can expect to receive your order approximately 7-10 days after shipment, excluding international shipping peak periods, during which delivery times may be extended. All mailed products are first transported to the airport, then air-freighted to their destination. After customs clearance, they are handed over to local logistics companies for door-to-door delivery. For customers in outlying islands of Taiwan (Penghu, Matsu, Kinmen, Lienchiang, Outer Islands, Xiaolanyu), shipping companies will charge an additional fee. Please contact us before placing your order if you are located in these areas. For Hong Kong, standard shipping is via SF Express, with delivery expected within 2-3 days after shipment. If your delivery address is in a commercial or industrial area and you are able to accept deliveries within a week or more, you may opt for regular postal service, which is more economical than SF Express. Please contact us in advance if you wish to choose this option. **● Origin / Manufacturing Method** Mainland China × Made with Care
