This is a two-part gown, with a separate ruffled bustle belt. The Bodice is fully lined, interlined, and boned to hold its shape. The entire garment is overlaid with Intricate, Vintage Hand-Crochet work as shown. Center front panel is embellished with a coordinating new embroidered applique. The bodice laces in back through white painted metal grommets, with a modesty panel attached.

The full, puffed sleeves are Gossamer Sparkle Organza. They are elasticized just below the elbow, ending in a ruffle of high-quality new Venise Lace.

The separate Skirt is Ivory Crepe-Back Satin, made in the traditional Victorian 5-gore style, with a trained back and deep ruffle at the hem. The waistband is flat; the skirt closes at center back with a zipper and button.

The ruffled bustle belt is a Lightweight Floral Brocade, outlined with Ivory Satin Rope Piping. The center front ties are hidden by the bodice.
