The simple shoulder line, is accented by decorative paisley lace designs and floral appliqués along each shoulder seam, which draw the eye to the mid length sheer bell sleeves, which are edged with floral lace designs along each cuff, creating a subtle scalloped design. The fitted bodice is accented by tailored darts along either side of the bust-line.The elegant straight line of the dress, completed this piece in an iconic silhouette, finished with a floral lace design along the hemline, creating a scalloped edge. The matching bandana, draws in along the nape with simple ties.
