This evening dress is made from dove grey sheer polyester. The dress is strapless and short. The bodice

is fitted and features boning for a more structured fit. The sweetheart neckline has a sheer net panel

insert centre front. The entire dress is covered in silver leaf shaped sequins. The closure is an

invisible zip centre back. The hem through the front of the dress is curved and meets at a higher

History:

This garment was manufactured under the'Tarvydas' label as part of the 'Dark Angel AW12' collection.

This collection was designed by Tarvydas with her Assistant Paye Lin. Tarvydas was particularly proud

of this collection, and due to financial difficulties, this was the last collection that she designed

herself (before outsourcing design overseas in an effort to reduce costs). 'Dark Angel AW12' was

shown at Perth Fashion Festival (PFF).
