This is a paisley-patterned cropped jacket with frills. Although it appears to have a pattern in the photos, it is a glossy black color. It looks sheer like lace, so I think it would be beautiful as a light outer layer. Wearing it over a dress would give a formal, suit-like appearance. It has been stored in a closet, so please understand. - Color: Black - Design: Paisley pattern - Sleeve Design: With frills - Buttons: Front button closure - Style: Cropped length Thank you for looking.
