A pink lamé dress with black velvet flower and silver rhinestone details designed by Peter Davy. The dress has a plunging V-neck front neckline and a dropped waistline. The bodice is shaped and fitted, including at the natural waist and hips. The full, floor-length skirt is made from the pink lamé, which is pressed into accordion pleats stitched at the waistline. A large black velvet flower is sewn at the proper right front hip and is connected by a length of black velvet ribbon to another large black velvet flower sewn at the proper left front bodice. A smaller black velvet flower extends above the neckline on the proper left front and attaches to a length of black velvet ribbon, which is attached at the proper right back side of the bodice to make a single diagonal strap.
