A sleeveless vest features a dense field of bright blue beads with two vertical columns of stacked geometric diamonds in pink, green, and dark blue. Smaller orange and green motifs flank these central patterns. Dark pink velveteen borders the edges, revealing a yellow lining with purple and green designs. Along the bottom edge, cream-colored leather fringe hangs down, punctuated by small dark red beads.
