This silk evening dress has a black background with a white print of flowers and small leaves. It is fastened with hooks and eyes and snaps located on the right side of the dress, running from beneath the armhole to just below the waist. The neckline is a very subtle V-neck in both front and back, almost passing as a scoop neckline. The waistline hits the body right at the waist, where the bodice of the dress has very subtle gathering.
Darts emanate from each side seam under the armhole.
The skirt is a variation on a sheath. It is divided into three separate tiers, which are attached to an off-white silk lining. The top two tiers extend into sashes which tie on the right side. The bottom tier has a split side seam on the right, leaving an opening to facilitate movement. There is a belt of the same fabric as the rest of the dress with a black grosgrain ribbon backing, tacked in place at the left side seam.
