Jovani 48428 V-Neck Beaded Gown with Cape Sleeves

Jovani 48428 is a caped gown built on a soft, unboned bodice. The V neckline is cut moderately deep at the centre front, and sheer cape panels hang from the shoulders on both sides and fall unbroken to the floor. The beading is worked in long pointed leaf-shaped motifs arranged in vertical columns that run straight through the waist with no band to interrupt them; the motifs are largest and most crowded between the bust and hip and thin out below the knee, where the ground shows through. The skirt follows the body to about mid-thigh and then widens gradually to the hem in a soft release rather than a defined break.
