There's a mini-dress underneath: The top of the minidress is an overwire bra that plunges down into the ribcage. the midriff section of the underdress is a body stocking with rows of bronze sequins through the waist. at the hip, it attaches to a flesh-colored opaque stretch skirt, with built-in panties to prevent shifting as you dance.
The over-dress is a very sheer pink chiffon with band of antique bronze sequins at the forearm, hip and above-the-knee. There's a pink organza pouf between the hip and knee. Below the knee, chiffon petals edged with bronze or copper beads subtly reveal the lower legs. The Turkish style scooped neckline is also edged with beads-- a few of the beads are actually buttons on the underdress's sequined straps to secure the delicate neckline.
The sequin band at the hips is underlined with a pink satin band, from which emerges an asymmetrical fringe of bronze beads.
The sequined band just above the knee has a pulley system weighted with larger bronze beads to allow movement of the legs, but allow the lowest section of the dress to become a narrow column with legs together.
