Bewitching Black Double Chiffon Vintage Hanky Hem Nightgown S M

Bodice is double chiffon, and is backless, so just two triangles of chiffon cover the bust. Straps are red satin and continue down to edge the bodice and to the waist on each side of the bust. Empire waist is elastisized, and more of the satin forms a bow to accent at the empire waist as the vee neck meets it.

and now the amazing part..The skirt to the gown is two layers, the bottom or under layer softly curves over the legs in the front, then curves down on each side creating huge hankie hem points on the sides.

A second, top layer is just the opposite, with round curving on the sides, and coming to a point in front. Each layer is edged with the beautiful red satin, so it accents and shows through the layers. And the result of the alternate hanky points is fabulous.. and so very full and floaty.
