Strapless style with boned bodice, the front of which is made from rows of gathered nylon tulle across the bust area. The back and under bust are made from lace lined with satin-like fabric. The full tulle skirt has lace until the hips where it then is made from rows and rows of gathered tulle.The skirt is lined in satin and also has a plain white tulle layer on top ot that.

This dress is in excellent vintage condition. Has the slightest marks where the old hooks and eyes near zip had some rust which are not noticeable when on.
