This winter-weight green gingham dress has a moss-colored velvet trim at the bodice, sleeves, and hem. The bodice is a faux jacket with ivory silk and lace, as well as a black pleated cumberbund at the waist. Ruched gingham on the sleeves and the multi-pointed shape trimmed on the lower portion of the skirt are decorative elements created with the prominent fabric of the dress. This dress is very heavy - weighing nearly five pounds (2.27 kg.).
