You can see the influence of other houses - Balenciaga for example - in the rounded shoulders and strong A-line skirt

One is barely visible on the bow just above the knot - super size the photo and you will still be hard pressed to find it and the other on the skirt and I have shown it

Bust: no true defined seam because of open back and dolman sleeve
