Description |
A ladies handstitched short gown made out of red changeable silk. The short gown has a low scoop neckline. The gown ties twice in the front, with a yellow silk twill drawstring inserted in the neckline seam and at the mid-point seam. The insertion of the drawstring creates a cinching of the fabric. The sleeves are long and straight and attaches straight into the body. The short gown flares out in a peplum below the second drawstring. |
