Every single gold glass bugle bead, seed bead, and delicate 3D hanging tassel accent remains entirely intact, secure, and unbroken. Dual Metal Zippers: Features its original, fully functioning vintage double-zipper system—a short metal zipper at the upper back neckline and a long metal zipper along the side torso. Classic Silhouette: Built-in 1940s padded shoulders and a beautifully gathered side-hip cascade ruffle drape.
