Item# DD1043

Bust: 18î flat across from side seam to side seam the inside dress

This dress is both iconic and fantastic

The braided piping detail that runs around the waist and adds to the illusion of a nipped in waistline is utterly fantastic

A soft hand screened watercolor floral print is down over the entire dress. The exterior silk is a feather light chiffon and this is placed over a soft pink silk interior.
