I love this piece so, so much! It's probably my favourite item of clothing ever, especially with the matching lilac/gold tasseled turban. An investment piece that is forever timeless and glamorous. the fabric is out of this world in person. there are woven metallic gold accent outlines on each shell in the print with delectable shades of pale purple and lilac. the fit is wonderful and super comfortable. you cold wear it as a robe, coat or dress, what more could you ask for?! the belt is also so gorgeous, and the texture is reinforced to give a slight obi look. you could wear it on anything even use as a hair wrap, nice and long. i actually have the opera coat on my wall since i purchased it, it seems too beautiful to even put in the closet! only drawback is you will want this in every colour. Its like wrapping yourself in pure joy! I'm purring with delight every time i wear it. A Julia Clancey forever piece to die for!
