About the Item

Sweetheart surplice bodice party dress with short sleeves and inset cummerbund waist; low scooped back. Cutaway front petal skirt with voluminous waist gathers (especially at rear); ornamental center back bow. Rear metal zipper closure with hook and eye at zipper top and mid-back; additional hook and eye beneath one side of rear bow.
