Description

Black satin evening dress with a loosely wrapped yoke, small buttons along each side of the bodice, and a floor-length skirt split open at a center seam to reveal a red and green underskirt. Sketch includes a full view of the ensemble (in color) on a model that appears to be smoking a cigarette, as well as a partial view of the back of the dress (in black and white) that reveals a deep v-neckline exposing the wearer's back.
