View B features a striking puff sleeve in two lengths and a midi-length tiered skirt.
Both views have a unique bodice design that incorporates knife pleats at the waist, a face-framing square neckline and a keyhole opening in the back bodice tied at the nape of the neck.
Pauline can be made unlined or fully lined and is closed with an invisible zipper at center back.
