A light pink tulle gown with small skinny straps, sweetheart neckline and full skirt (a) with matching bolero (b). The top of the dress (a) has tulle skinny straps that connect to the main bodice.

The tulle overlay on the bodice lays horizontal across the midsection. The bodice is attached to a full tulle skirt with a pink silk underlay. The skirt falls from the waistline of the bodice. The skirt is full with a scalloped bottom edge. There is a silver zipper on the proper left side. The inside of the dress is pink silk with boning along the bodice to keep it stiff. The bolero (b) is made of the same tulle material. The sleeves are mid arm length and have the same flower applique on the bottom edge. The bolero covers the shoulders and back area and the sleeves would fit above the elbow. |
