Special Features: From the fall, 1984 collection sweaters and evening skirts were highlighted on the runway, thanks to this New York Times article found online. The long cashmere sweater set has mock neckline and large patch pockets on the front of the cardigan. The silk evening skirt has a dart fitted hip yoke falling from a narrow waistband. Full gathered skirt falls beneath the yoke. The New York Times article and another version of this ensemble is shown by the photograph from the Bill Blass coffee table book. 

Condition: The skirt was let out as apparent from the waistband. There is some very faint soiling around the lower skirt.
