Dress

One lady's maternity dress. The one-piece dress is made of a lightweight green satin/crepe fabric that has a tan/brown print pattern of small acorns. It has a short "V" neck with beige lace trim around the neckline and down the center front to just above the waist. The dress also has long narrow sleeves with matching lace at the cuffs, a dropped waist with a matching fabric cummerbund sash, a flared skirt with a slit on the left side, and a hemline ending at mid-calf. The lace cuffs have snap closures. Also, two snaps are located on both the left and right sides of the dress at the waistline in order to gather several inches of fabric. When the snaps are released, the gathered fabric allows the waistline to expand. A small white label on the inside waist has gold-colored text that reads "Lane Bryant."
