The closely fitted boned bodice has tulle drapery falling from the shoulders to below the hip. The neckline trim of scalloped metallic cord and glass pearls is supported by a metal framework to float it above the shoulder line. The center front button closure is concealed under a fly placket. The underside of the armhole is edged in a Valenciennes overlaid shallow satin band. A narrow ribbon insertion draws the lace close to the body.
