DescriptionA woman's geometric print short-sleeve dress. The pattern is made up of triangles and connected triangles in red, pink, white, and maroon. The neckline is V-shaped with a wide collar. The collar is wide and square extending over the shoulders with pointed ends at center back. At the bottom of the neckline are two long pieces of fabric with a decoration at the tip. Likely these two pieces were tied into a bow. The decoration at the tip is a gold design with a multi-colored ball (resembles an acorn). At the waistline is a false pocket decoration with six fabric-covered buttons vertically sewn onto the false pocket hem.
