Description

Part A) Blue and white striped trapeze dress. Sleeveless, with a "V" neck. Dress material is oriented to give the stripe pattern a "V" shape appearance on both front and back of the dress. Square patch pockets on left and right front, as well as on left and right breast, oriented so that their stripe pattern runs counter to the pattern on the dress. "Slid" zipper and hook closure at center back of dress. Part B) Blue faux leather belt with a circular gold metallic fastener. The fastener can be turned and split in half. A corresponding hole in the opposite end of the belt can be clasped between the two halves of this fastener. Belt has rounded square ends.
