Evening gown with a short-sleeved body and long, tail skirt. The body comprises a silk lining with 12 whalebones, a middle layer of silk gauze, and an outer layer of black tulle, which resembles a jacket and reveals a lace appliqué in the shape of a bow tie when closed. The skirt comprises a nude colored silk underskirt and a black tulle exterior, and is finished off with gauze frills and decorated with large plant motifs sewn onto the tulle.

This gown showcases the characteristics of a modernist style of dress, such as the overlaying of various layers of material to form garments, an exterior almost always made of tulle or lace, soft matching colors, and large, decorative, plant-inspired motifs sewn onto the garment.
