About MeLilac brocade silk evening dress comprising boned bodice with full gathered sleeves and blue velvet trim and skirt with fullness at the back.

This elegant two-piece evening dress demonstrates the clever use of dressmaking devices to alter or accentuate the female shape. Here the large sleeves and flared hemline emphasise further the smallness of the waist.
