Cream-colored silk chiffon dress with purple embroidery and lace. The bodice has a square neckline and elbow-length sleeves. There are purple shoulder straps, and the waistline, accented with a purple satin ribbon and silk flowers, sits near the wearer's natural waist. The skirt is constructed in layers: an opaque silk lining, purple floral lace, and short cream organza panels that fall to about the knee. The top layer of the skirt is embroidered with rayon thread with two clouds and straight stitched rectangles that stretch from the clouds to the bust. The sleeve cuffs are embroidered with a border in the same pattern as the rectangles.Context
