The dress is a knee-length, pale yellow ball gown made of silk or satin fabric. It has a V-shaped neckline and short, frilled cap sleeves with a yellow pom-pom on each shoulder. The bodice features a ruffled top section with a center panel of braid or fabric woven into a braid-like pattern. A large bow is positioned just below the neckline, flanked by two long, gold-colored chain-like trims that extend down the front of the dress. The skirt features a layered, gathered design with a shorter, lighter-colored underskirt visible at the bottom.
