About the Item

Long sleeve maxi hostess dress with quilted skirt and polished cotton bodice; green velveteen folding cuffs and matching portrait collar with wings. Shirtwaist style with front buttoning bodice and zipper closure from waist to knees. Green velveteen lined placket; on seam pockets both sides.
