Description

Striking one-piece gown in silk taffeta with contrasting dark brown silk trim and buttons. The fitted collar, hand crocheted buttons, and tassled beads on the front detailing are elegant and unusual. The back of the gown accommodates a large cage bustle and asymetrical hemline is truly eyecatching. Most unusual is the small pocket on the left side.
