Description
This photograph depicts a woman wearing an evening ensemble.
The dress is fitted, made of grey-silver satin, reversible to black. Although the neckline is not visible, covered by a large white fox fur cape, the waist is visibly marked by a rather wide belt made out of the same fabric. On the right-hand side of the skirt is a cascade of loosely pleated fabric.
The outfit is accessorized by long black gloves and earrings.
