Garment details 

The closely fitted boned bodice has tulle drapery falling from the shoulders to below the hip. The neckline trim of scalloped metallic cord and glass pearls is supported by a metal framework to float it above the shoulder line. The center front button closure is concealed under a fly placket. The underside of the armhole is edged in a Valenciennes overlaid shallow satin band. A narrow ribbon insertion draws the lace close to the body.
