Physical description
This green lurex knit pants suit is comprised of a halter neck top and pants. The top consists of five horizontal bands, each with scalloped edges, in alternating shades of green, with gold flecks. At the neckline, there is a fabric covered, padded hoop which creates the halter neck. The hoop is attached through a fold at the centre front. The pants are light green with a low wide waistband and two silver clips placed horizontally at the proper left side.
