Description

A long-sleeved, wine-colored silk dress bodice with tasseled fringe detailing. The shoulders are puffed, and there is brown fringe along both sides of the front. The back of the bodice is open in the center, where an undershirt would most likely be visible. The bodice opens in the front, and closes with a mix of 15 hook-and-eye clasps and eight large silver buttons with rhinestone and red detailing. There is an interior waistband, to provide structure to the bodice.
