Fantastic Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Deep Red Cut Velvet Bias Cut Dress w Angled Hem designer-michaele-vollbracht The neckline is cut extra

The jacket slips over that and has structured shoulder pads for shape and the sleeves are long

It ties into place at the back of the neck as described above
