This is the most beautiful gown I have ever made, she is truly stunning. Unfortunately my photographic skills are not as good, I have darkened the photograph so you can see the trims. She is paler. May I suggest you send for a fabric sample to see the true beauty and texture of the fabrics.

She is FULLY lined in satin for comfort BODICE Is fully lined and heavily boned (13 lengths) while the feature back strapping pulls the gown in for a fully 'corseted' look and perfect fit. The front 'v' panel has 7 pieces of boning encased within a triple layer of heavy calico that gives a fully pushed up bust. On the front panel A beautiful wide pearl and diamante trim emphasises the deep square neckline so typical of 18th century gowns . I have layered the front panel with layers of the lace and added a large bow made from the same lace. A large brooch adds to the overall rich appearance. THE SLEEVES The fully lined elbow shaped three quarter sleeves have a gorgeous shaped deep ruffle of the main fabric edged with the iridescent lace. There is a separate inner sleeve with an extremely large double layer of delicate lace forming an extra inner frill, very flamboyant. I have sewn a thin lace of diamante into the frill seam and finished them with a lace bow and pearl and diamante brooch SKIRTS The main skirt has been shaped to trail away at the back and train as you walk.. I have edged the front with the iridescent lace and a beautiful diamante and pearl trim The underskirt has layers of the iridescent lace running down the front and a large triple frill at the bottom. I have sewn a matching trim across the front.
