About MeDrawing of front view of evening dress. The dress is layered with a floaty outer layer with long fitted sleeves and front and back panels, all edged in small scalloped trim. There is also a strappy underlayer visible in the drawing, and it seems to have an empire line seam with gathered dress fabric underneath.The outer layer fastens in the front at the bust and has a long leafed flower motif spreading up each panel (probably formed of sequins and beads with embroidery).
