The bodice is fitted with a center front seam and appears to have a closed, rounded or possibly a low, square back. The skirt falls in soft folds to the floor. The fabric features a colorful floral print on a tan background with red, yellow, and blue flowers and green leaves. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin. The background is white.
