The romance of a flower-scented evening is yours to enjoy with this dramatic skirt set. Horizontal stripes create the illusion of gathered tiers on the full skirt, which hangs gracefully from a drawstring waist. The double-breasted jacket is elegant with an asymmetrical hem and bell sleeves. Search your closet for separates that will complement these petal-perfect pieces.
