About the Item

The waist, depending on yours, high waist or low waist, the dress slub silk bodice is intended to fit through the waist & the bow front hit at the hip top. There is a center front focus bow with a decorative buckle of black glass beads. Below a row of hand rolled petals form a belt around the body. The long skirt is sheer black silk, a double row of petals form the hem. The dress is interlined & lined in black silk, the bodice lining continues to approximately the knee. The skirt lining of opaque silk, ends at about the knee inside, making the lower leg slightly visible through the sheer fabric. The skirt back features a deep center hem vent. In the time the dress was designed, it gave a sexy feel, with a strict body contouring non transparent bodice with darted bust to a peek of leg through sheer silk, to full view of leg calf & ankle, as you walk away.
