Comments:

The fine draping abilities of the designer is visible in the back torso of the dress. Look closely at the silver lame over the hip area of the skirt.

The top of the bodice was not lined leaving the sheer effect of the fabric.

This gown was this writer/dresser favorite because of the degree of difficulty in design.
