A vertically oriented silk garment embroidered with primarily pink, red, and dark blue floral patterns against a pale blue ground. A light blue waistband sits above a central rectangular panel framed by dark borders and dense bottom embroidery. On each side, vertical black bands break the pale silk pleats and scattered floral sprays. A dark, decorative border wraps the hem, anchoring the delicate floral patterns and geometric motifs.
