DescriptionA calf-length dress in purple-wine-colored fabric. It is plain with only a few embroidered embellishments. Its long sleeves are finished with three simple rows of stitching. Two flaps of fabric are affixed around either side of the waist and embroidered with dusty purple threading in a floral design. The design is on the fron and back of each piece of fabric. The bodice has a kind of overlay blouse with no sleeves that is made from the same fabric as the dress. The same floral design decorates its front. A row of buttons runs down the back of the bodice and extends down a few inches onto the skirt.On View
