DescriptionRed rayon moire evening dress. Sleeveless, with a U-neckline in front and a deep V in back. There is a bow at the center back neck. This V formation is echoed in the piecing of the back and front of the dress, much of which is done on the bias. The skirt features the popular uneven hemline of its time, trailing in the back and as a high as mid calf in front. The neck and arm hole edges are finished with self-fabric bias binding.
