It features a scoop neckline and a fluid skirt, and has been cut on the bias to create that characteristic, body-skimming drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bodice and back are adorned with crisscrossing lines of embroidery, accented with hand-sewn beads for added sparkle. Bow motifs appear at both the bust and back, along with scattered original gelatin sequins and traces of sequin residue across the bodice and skirt. A wide, attached sash belt cinches the waist, and the dress can also be worn back to front for a different look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wounded bird, but in my opinion that only makes her easier to wear.
