The V shaped neckline is framed by short capped sleeves, that overlap in a petal like cut along the top of each sleeve. The fitted bodice boasts tailored darts. The cinched in waistline sets off the panelled skirt in a near full circle cut. This dress has been photographed with a medium petticoat for added volume. The dress is along the shoulders and yokes in rayon.
