There is extra fabric all along the edge so you get a really beautiful drape along that side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eIt is cut so bad it skims over the bust and then the waist is cinched in for shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe skirt is elaborately gathered into the waist area and all of the draping in the skirt is set so that it sweeps upwards into the waist. This allows the dress to drape over the hips as needed, and then it comes in naturally more around the legs to create a very Grecian feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eIt wraps over itself and closes with an elaborate series of silk covered snaps and hooks. Where it crosses over you will get a flash of leg when you walk or sit. You can see this in the reference photo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eA panel of silk is gathered on the one side of the waist and falls more towards the side and back for added detail and movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThere is a very elaborate design done in gold metal pieces that are all hand set onto the silk. It is composed of gold beading in a variety of shapes and sizes, dangling metal cords and prong set glass crystal rhinestones. The entire lower portion of the gold metal design is set in dangling strands off of the dress so when you move this has incredible movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress is unlined and snaps to close up the side of the bodice that goes over the shoulder and then it hooks and snaps into place both inside the inner waist and along the front of the waist. The bust and hips are completely cut on the bias so are very forgiving and have movement over the body. On this one, if the waist fits the rest should fit. I see a couple very faint tiny marks here and there and a teeny tiny pinhole near the seam of the waist. Please see the photos after the label shot. These are very minor but mentioned for accuracy.The dress is completely made by hand and has its proper couture label present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThere is no size tag because it is true Couture.
