Pink bandage dress with side cut-outs attributed to Herve Leger. The dress is made from panels of heavy ribbed knit fabric to make the front and back, which contour in at the waist and then out at the hips with a straight floor-length column skirt. These two panels are attached at the top with one panel that goes around the bust in a continuous circle. Crisscrossed thin pieces of the pink knit are sewn at each side from under the bust line to the thigh, with the sides of the skirt left open as long slits. Self-fabric spaghetti straps are sewn to cross at the center back. The dress closes at the center back with a zipper and one (1) hook-and-eye, though the hook is missing. The dress is not lined. There is a strip of white grip tape sewn around the interior top edge. There are no labels.
