• Three versions are provided: a Shaped Hip Length version (Version I) and a Shaped Cropped Length version (Version II), both with neck and bust darts and slightly shorter sleeves, and a Classic version that is hip length with broader shoulders, longer sleeves, and no neck or bust shaping (Version III).
