The bodice of the dress features a sweetheart neckline.

The skirt is attached to the bodice at the waist and has a fully gathered skirt, full of volume.

The entire dress has been designed with a lining, and the bodice will require interlining as well as lining, along with boning for additional support.

The fullness of the skirt is accentuated with the use of the dress net ruffles, which are attached to the skirt lining.

The back simply fastens with a zip and a hook and eye closure.
