Think 70s bridesmaid. So cute this Empire Waist Babydoll Chiffon Peasant Maxi Dress with Dark Purple Ribbon woven through Embroidered Floral Trim. Love the chiffon sleeves with gathered cuffs!
*Empire waist/Babydoll silhouette
*Purple velvet and embroidered floral mandarin collar and trim at waist and sleeves
*Chiffon outer fabric
*Sheer sleeves with gathers at wrists and snaps to keep at the wrists.
*Tons of gathers at top of skirt
*Look closely and you will see the trim is actually a velvet ribbon that is woven in and between the embroidered flowers!
*Fully lined bodice and skirt. Sleeves are not lined.
*Zips up the rear with a metal zipper. Hook and eye at top of zipper.
The outer fabric is sheer chiffon, likely synthetic, not silk. The lining, also synthetic, is quite stiff.
Condition - Has issues, please scroll around all photos. Some yellowing and fading and water marks. Also, please note the lining is rather stiff and is wrinkled, it will need a good steam before the dress is worn. You can see the wrinkles of the lining through the semi-sheer outer fabric, especially in the bodice. Not photographed are a rust spot on the right front of the skirt and black mark on front bottom near hem, both can be seen in some of the images.
