The velvet retains excellent luster and pile density consistent with silk content rather than later rayon or synthetic substitutes. The center front bodice panel and the entirety of the skirt are composed of antique black Chantilly-style lace over what appears to be an ivory or champagne silk underlayer, creating the signature illusion effect so prized by Golden Age cinematographers — the contrast between the sheer black lace and the warm underlining would have created an extraordinary visual depth on film.
