Betsy Johnson Full Skirted Brocade Strapless Mini Gown

This incredible, sculptured cocktail dress is a baroque gothic masterpiece for modern life. The heavy brocaded fabric is a rich slate gray with lace-like floral motifs woven in that gives the impression of a quilted texture. The bodice is structured with boning under the sweetheart neckline, and the waist is accentuated by grosgrain ribbon bows at angles to the hips. Ample pockets are easily hidden in the skirt which is incredibly structured with a flouncy built-in tulle crinoline petticoat.
