This is a beautiful 1960's evening party dress. The style is basically straight like a shift dress. The outer layer is made of silk chiffon with horizontal rows of tiny groupings of what looks like black glitter. At first I though that they were rhinestones. The lining is a black rayon material with a 2" satin trim around the bottom. This trim when flipped over is a dark burgundy color. There is a 23" zipper down the back with a hook and eye above it so it is very easy to step into it. There are some missing groupings of glitter around the armholes. The measurements are: Armpit to armpit 36", Waist 34", Hips 36", Length from front neckline 40", and Across back of shoulders 16".
