Such an amazing dress, designed and constructed with such attention to imaginative detail! The body is a drop-shoulder shift with plain rounded neckline, no darting for fit. There are side seam pockets below the waist. The dramatic red sleeves are Asian inspired with geometric details - the inner sleeves are batwing deep, narrowing slightly and then squaring off near the wrist cuffs. The cuffs use layers of the three different dress colors to create a striped effect. Narrower "stripes" of blue and black suggest a narrower sleeve. And then there is the third layer of sleeve, elbow length and quite deep - lined in the dark blue for additional drama. The dress comes alive on the body, and will invite you to strike dramatic poses using your arms. The dress is shown in some photos with its original shoulderpads tucked into place - a previous owner removed them but kept them with the dress. They are included with purchase, and if you want to use them, they can easily be stitched back into place. The dress is shown in some photos with a belt from my closet for inspiration - it is not included with purchase.

SIZE: Labeled size 8, but given the design details, I would say this is a One Size Fits Many - the hip measurement is probably most important.>

Measurements Inches Cm
Approximate bust 45" 114.5
Dropped shoulders 24" 61
Sleeve length from dropped shoulder 19.5" 49.5
Approximate hips 41.5" 105.5
Dress length from shoulder seam 40.5" 103
Sweep 39.5" 100.5

FABRIC/COLORS: A bold and gorgeous print, using stylized tropical fern and leaf motifs in a rich dark teal with black against a dark red background. The fabric is light to medium weight silk, and tag recommends dry clean only. Accent fabrics match the dark teal and black.

TAGS: Cee Gee by Sue Wong, made in Hong Kong

CLOSURES: The dress slips on over the head, and closes with three red self-fabric covered buttons on the left shoulder. The cuffs also close with self-fabric buttons, black this time and two on each wrist.

CONDITION: On close inspection, I see two small darkish discolorations - the larger is on the bodice front and center near the neckline - see closeup. I found a similar but smaller spot on the right sleeve near the cuff. I have not tried to remove these, since I don't have a trusted dry cleaner in my community.

My favorite movie musical
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964, Jacques Demy, Director) is a very straightforward love story that’s fairly predictable, but that doesn’t take away from its absorbing allure. In fact, I love this film so much that I’m willing to overlook some of the minor flaws in the blu ray transfer from Criterion. This transfer is somewhat grainy/hazy in picture quality, and the sound isn’t exactly clear; in fact, it can be slightly muffled at times. However, I’m not going to dwell on these few minor imperfections. Now, for the heart of the review: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is so unique in that all of the dialogue is sung. This is definitely an acquired taste, but about 15-20 minutes in, I was used to it and all-in. The next thing that becomes obvious is its rich color; it’s sort of pastel-like, with some backgrounds that are quite striking. Finally, the last thing that jumps out is the continuous upbeat music in the film, with the exception of the main theme, which is an emotionally-charged melancholy number by Michel Legrand that is the heartbeat of the film. This film is really a heartfelt love story where fate is the prevailing narrative and force. It’s a film about important decisions and their outcomes. Along the way, there are familial issues, death, rebuilding with emotional crutches, and some humor injected at just the right times. Some of the dialogue is cliched, but I guess that’s par for the course in a love story? Finally, while watching this film, I could definitely see where the 2016 film, La La Land took so much inspiration from, especially the ending sequence and the upbeat musical numbers. Overall, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a masterpiece of a film that’s essential to your blu ray collection. The Criterion Collection usually does a stellar job with resorting older films, but for some reason this isn’t their best work. I was expecting better quality. The blu ray also contains some nice special features.

Gorgeous Legrand music in a superb film
One of the lovliest films ever made! It's a "jazz opera" with superb Michel Legrand music and more. And the finale will melt the hearts of any "family" person who experiences it.

Excellent disc and movie
This is one of the great films of the last century. If you haven’t seen it, buying this expensive blu ray is still a bargain. Love Criterion’s high quality publication and bonus materials!

Gorgeous!!
Beautiful blu-ray disc! I have loved this movie since I was a teenager -- now in my late 50s. I have had it on VHS, laserdisc, and DVD --- this transfer blows all of them away! Plus, the sound is much-improved as well, not as jarring/hollow-sounding as in my previous versions. Great, beautiful, haunting movie --- a simple soap-opera with a stunning score, and gorgeous cast --- and the ending gets me every time.....this old man blubbers like a 12 year old girl.....highly recommend! And very fast delivery!
