About this object
This pink, floor length evening dress is built on a sleeveless pink satin foundation cut in a princess line. An overlay of lace with ruched, irridescent ribbon is applied at each side, front and back, and forms an elbow length sleeve. The garment has a square neck with a horizontal seam across the bust. The back has an inverted pleat at each side waist, where a flat bow is placed. The garment has a full interior lining of satin acetate, and the hem is stiffened with a band of nylon horsehair. A nylon zipper closes the dress at center back.
