Description
Paper photograph of a woman modeling an evening gown by the designer Jean DESSES. A cocktail dress in pink chiffon softly draped around the figure. The contour of the figure is accented with a spiral frill starting from the knee-length hemline and winding to one shoulder strap, tied with a bright ruby velvet bow contrasting with the light pink colour of the dress. The look is completed with a pair of medium long gloves, high heel classic pumps, and the lady is wearing a pearl jewellery parure, consisting of a pair of round bead earrings and a one strand choker necklace with a large pear shape pearl pendant. The woman is standing in an interior with a deep rich brown couch on the background.
