Black, long-sleeved dress, possibly crepe de chine and lace. Low neckline, tiny pleats down centre of front with lace panels running from the shoulders, and the skirt mainly of lace with full crepe de chine lining. Sleeves are crepe de chine with lace inserts and cuffs. Sides and back down to lower hips plain then curved leading to lace skirt - like an over-jacket but part of the main dress. there is a Diamante bow fastening in middle at the front.Measurements: 1380 x 530 x 680
