This asymmetrical sleeveless gown features a bateau neckline and multicolor decorations. The metallic gold under-skirt incorporates openwork hem detailing, along with geometric openwork detailing in multiple tones of gold, creating additional dimensionality to the gown. Metallic embroidery on the blue and pink split-tailed over-dress with green trim ties in the gold of the under-dress. Further embellishment throughout the dress includes tulle, ribbons, and a gold-toned, crystal-encrusted brooch. The colors and metallic detailing of this gown create an eye-catching ensemble for the wearer, and the feminine shape and decoration is typical of garments designed by Lady Duff-Gordon.
