Green evening gown with two small decorative green fabric strips. The dress (part a) is made from shiny green fabric and flares out at the bottom. The dress is lined with yellow-brown synthetic fabric. The semi-detached puffed sleeves are large and stiff due to the mesh lining. The bodice and sleeves are decorated with looped rows of faux pearls, pearlescent white plastic sequins, and dark brown and translucent beads. The back of the dress fastens with a long metal zipper and a hook and eye. The two small strips (parts b and c) of green fabric are decorated with circular groupings of faux pearls.
