The dress is a two piece dress; lace up corset top with an empire sash under bust and a jeweled piece in center. there is a silver lace overlay with sequins on lace. Skirt is taffata with three silver lace flower embellishments on skirt. one on each side of the skirt in different spots and one at the top of the train where the sequin dusting goes out to the end of the train. I wore flats so dress with dress.
