- Description
- A light blue long-sleeve dress with white embroidery trim and a half ribbon belt on the back. Embroidery flanks decorative buttons from the throat to the waist before cutting at right angles to circle the waist. Embroidery also rings the hem of the dress and the ends of the sleeves. A tag at the colalr, blue stitching on white fabric, reads [Designers Collection / by DOREE SELEVAN / of DORISSA]. A small white tag at collar in black ink reads [8]. The zipper is in good working order, but the metal hook and thread loop at the top of the zipper are no longer present. There is some puckering along the skirt portion of the dress, but there are no holes, tears, or damage. The sleeve embellishments have small plastic tag fasteners, one per sleeve.
