The sheer, darker flesh colored outer layer is backed by a pale flesh color that's somewhat more opaque. The effect is like wearing stockings or nylons on lighter colored naked skin. Overlaying that is a fabulous swirling appliqué that covers just enough. It's extravagant curls continue around the sides to end in a flourish at the lower back.
