Description
Paper photograph of a woman modeling an Arnold SCAASI pancake dress design. The dress is of graphic floral print, with a mock neck, leg-of-mutton sleeves, center front seam, invisible side seam pockets, and knee-length hem. The skirt of the dress is in a silhouette created by SCAASI called “the pancake,” a large circle that swings from the knees to just below the waist to form an apron effect. The model is wearing slingback dark high heels with a strap across the instep. Her hair is half up, half down, with the hair in the front of her head in a large poof and the back in a small beehive style.
