A sleeveless, dark velvet vest is decorated with dense gold embroidery in symmetrical floral patterns. Three large, circular motifs with layered petals and beaded centers anchor each side, surrounded by swirling vines and leafy shapes. Small glinting sequins and metallic beads trim the garment's edges and flower centers. The open front reveals a smooth, off-white interior lining.
