Physical description
Tunic style mini dress, with a scoop neckline and low-cut arm holes. the front panel consists of a bottom layer of black vinyl coated cotton, with a diagonal overlay of fine metal foil mesh. This is covered by a layer of clear plastic, which is painted on the underside in orange and purple, with a geometric and random splatter design. The back panel is black vinyl coated cotton. A length of PVC tubing wraps across the front panel and then criss-crosses over the back of the dress, supported by three metal hoops, two at the shoulders, the other at hip level. The dress fastens down the left side seam with a metal zip.
