A double sash adds an extra touch of elegance to this eye-catching number. Next to it, a duster-check silk hopsack dress in pink and green grabs attention with its completely backless design. The dress is further accentuated by a matching cape, which adds a playful touch with its amusing pleated tabs that emphasize the shoulder line.
