General background & information
 
Clementine is a 1995 Carolina Herrera mini dress in a rare mid size. It's a fun, unexpected interpretation of a menswear suit jacket. Constructed in heavy silk crepe, Clementine features structured shoulders, a crossover bodice, and faux lapels made from contrasting silk charmeuse. The dress is finished with a black grosgrain bow at the side waist. You could switch out the black bow for an ivory bow, of course, but we love the unexpected touch of black. It provides a soft, feminine focal point to an otherwise serious dress.
