A short-sleeved satin bodice features magenta and purple panels heavily embroidered with gold thread and sequins. On the purple front sections, golden peacocks surround circular designs. The magenta sleeves and upper sections are covered in small gold floral dots. Thick gold embroidery borders the cuffs and V-neckline. A prominent zig-zagging gold band details the shoulder on the right, contrasting against the vibrant silk fabric.
