The skirt is a sleek and graceful long tulip shape - a faux wrap, and longer in back than front - with gathers at the waist. It has a slender matching belt with a beautiful white iridescent sequin and silver and clear bugle beads leaf motif embellishment on the center front. The belt threads through several delicate thread loops, and fastens on the back with a hook and bar closure, and a snap - all sewn by hand. It also has lingerie straps hand-sewn into the shoulders to keep your bra or slip strap held perfectly in place. On the interior bodice, the two pieces that create the double V on each side were exactingly hand-tacked together with tiny perfect stitches. I am such a sucker for this level of workmanship, not to mention the cleverness and uniqueness of the design and construction of the gown.
This vintage piece is a beauty, and you can rest assured that no one else will show up at an event wearing your dress.
