Burgandy crumpled taffeta with front sides of pale gold crepe-back satin. Appliqued butterflies fly from right hip to left shoulder, topstitched in gold thread. Sleeves are bias cut burgundy crumpled taffeta, which not only provides extra ease and range of motion, but also creates a more interesting design line as the eye follows the direction of the crumpled pleats.
