Evening outfit comprised of a dress and jacket. 
The dress of the set (A) is made of two fabrics - the bodice of a thick silk satin and the maxi skirt of black velvet. The bodice has an extremely wide open v-shaped neckline. The gentle curves of the 'V' serve to enhance the shape of the chest. The bodice has short sleeves and is fastened at the back with an invisible zipper and a hook and eye closure. A black velvet ribbon is tied around the satin of the bodice at the waist. The skirt of the dress connects to the dress at the waist and is gathered to create a wider shape. Horse hair is inserted inside the hem to ensure the skirts are held away from the body and maintain the desired shape. The designer label is stitched on the inside of the dress alongside the zipper. 
The jacket of the set (B) is made from the black velvet used in the skirt. It has a cropped cut and three quarter length sleeves. Bold floral motifs created with black sequins are placed throughout the jacket, and all the edges of the jacket are lined in two rows of black sequins. The jacket is lined with black satin, and the designer label is stitched to the lining at the back of the jacket.
