A LONG EVENING DRESS OF PINK WILD SILK, WITH AN EMBROIDERED BOLERO

BY CATHERINE WALKER

The strapless bodice is embroidered overall with pink and white flowers, some couched, with green sequins, star-shaped sequins, gold glass beads and gold braid, echoing Mughal embroidery motifs. The long-sleeved bolero jacket has a bodice embroidered overall en suite with the dress. The cuffs each have three fine buttons of pink and green paste. This dress was made for the Princess’s India tour in 1992.
