Silk organza unfinished dress with blue embroidery

A silk organza unfinished dress with blue embroidery. The unfinished dress consists of three parts, a bodice, sleeves with a pattern piece, and a skirt panel. All of these elements are made of silk organza embroidered with florals in blue two-ply cotton embroidery thread. The sleeveless bodice (a) has a square neckline in the front and transitions into a deep-V at the back. White glass beads arranged in floral motifs embellish the neckline at the front and back. The neckline is a separate panel from the bodice, and the seams where it is machine-stitched to the bodice are scalloped and bound with the same blue thread used for the fabric’s embroidery. The bodice’s back is constructed of two bias-cut panels that originally joined at the center back. Each back panel includes the shoulders of the bodice that extend over to the front. Along both sides of the center back opening, the fabric is held together with straight pins, four on the proper left side and six on the proper right side. The bodice’s interior has a camisole lining constructed of synthetic (likely acetate) faille overlaid with net (likely nylon). These two layers of fabric are machine-stitched together along their seams and bottom hem. The camisole has two bust darts and synthetic gauze straps that are held in place with lingerie strap guards at each shoulder. Two straight pins hold the camisole and bodice fabric layers together at the center front near the bottom hem.
