Description:

Stitching above their seams, and shirring below, give the dropped shoulders of this coat an epaulet-like effect. Material is also gathered at the base of the collar in back to further "tighten" the form-fitting look of the shoulders, in contrast to the straight, loose-hanging look of the rest of the coat.
