The rounded scoop neckline of the dress is framed by a simple shoulder line, which sets off the 3/4 length sleeves. The elegant knitted base, forms a figure hugging silhouette which is accented by trailing beaded flowers, set off by glass faceted droplet beads, and finished with iridescent rhinestones along the centre of the flowers. The fitted waistline sets off the elegant line of the skirt, which is finished with small side vents along each side seam. This dress is fully lined in silk.
