The dress is a knockout. In black velvet, it's a long-sleeved, fitted gown that falls to the floor and pools around the mannequin's feet.
The shoulders are adorned with silver spikes and shiny crystals, and black chains affixed to each shoulder hang below the bust, forming a kind of necklace. A smoky grey scarf has been tied around the mannequin's head; there's a black scarf underneath with more chains running across the hairline.
