Description

A: Knee-length column dress with cap sleeves made of mauve taffeta. Black tube and seed beads have been embroidered onto the sleeves, stomach, waist, and skirt with pink thread that has also been used to decoratively fill in the areas between the beads; this results in a black and pink gepmetric pattern. A central panel has been attatched at the waist and hangs slightly lower than the hemline.

B: Knee-length, sleeveless slip made from dusty pink colored cloth. The neckline has been finished with pinking.
