Jovani 48412 One-Shoulder Beaded Gown with High Slit

Jovani 48412 is a one-shoulder gown built around a single fan of beadwork. The top edge dips to a point at the centre front and rises over one shoulder in a plain beaded band, leaving the other shoulder bare. The sequin work is laid in fine radiating lines that fan out from a point at the centre waist, and that fan is the densest concentration on the gown, thinning upward toward the bust and downward toward the knee. The bodice is unboned, with the beading sitting on a sheer ground. The skirt stays close through hip and thigh with a slit opening at the front and rising to about mid-thigh, and the back is covered by sheer beaded fabric scooped in a low curve to about mid-back, with the fan continuing across it.
