Fouad Sarkis F02974 One-Shoulder Pleated Fit-and-Flare Evening Gown

Fouad Sarkis F02974 is a one-shoulder gown that holds close through the body before opening out below the hip. The neckline runs straight across the bust, bare on one side and covered on the other, and the bodice is ruched into fine diagonal folds that continue past the natural waist to a pointed asymmetric seam at the low hip. From that seam the finely pleated skirt flares full to the floor and sweeps out behind into a train. A large soft draped knot sits on the covered shoulder and releases a long streamer that falls the full length of the gown, and a high slit opens on the opposite side to the upper thigh.
