The image shows a long, gold dress on a mannequin. The dress is made of gold-colored fabric with a textured, shiny appearance. It features a fitted bodice with buttons down the front and a ruffled collar, 3/4 length sleeves. The sleeves are tied with bows near the elbow. The skirt falls to the floor and is adorned with numerous horizontal rows of ruffles. A pale green underskirt is visible through the ruffles at the bottom of the dress, and there is a row of fringe along the bottom edge. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with no head or hair. The background of the image is a plain gray color. This is a dinner dress by House of Worth.
