Clusters of coloured faux jewels have been appliqued and are interspersed with coiled brass chain

and strings of diamantes. The closure is an invisible zip in the left side seam. The full, short skirt

features four layers of appliqued 'petals' in self fabric. The skirts is lined in black opaque polyester.
