This is such a striking dress - elegant and modest, but quite eye catching. It reminds me in subtle ways of southeast Asian styles. The bodice is empire waisted, with a mock turtleneck. Bell sleeves are sllghtly puffed at the shoulders and 3/4 length. The A-line skirt goes to the floor. The stylized plant motifs in vibrant red and cream, placed in geometrically, along with the textured black checkerboard provide plenty of visual interest.

FABRIC/COLORS: The primary fabric is black net, with two kinds of embroidery added. The most eye catching are the silky feeling leaf motifs done in red and cream. There is also a checkerboard-style woven pattern surrounding those motifs, done in black thread - not silky feeling. The dress is fully lined in thin black acetate-type fabric - opaque weight for the body and semisheer for the sleeves. it reminds me of the fabric used to line 60s beaded sweaters. The seams are so well finished that there isn't a good place to snip a bit of fabric for a burn test.

TAGS: No tags

CLOSURES: A long nylon zipper up the back, with a hook & eye at the top of the neck

CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.

For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.

For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.

Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.

The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.

If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
