This long-sleeve cardigan jacket is worn with a silk chiffon double-layer halter top tied into a bow at the front. Straight-leg trousers, gathered into a wide elastic waistband, complete the ensemble.
The custom-designed beadwork features a swirling pattern, which is used throughout the main field. The bottom parts of the jacket and trousers are embroidered in a wave pattern.
Elizabeth Weymouth, New York (Stan Weaver, New York): given to IMA 1986.
