French-Inspired Gown

Description

DETAILS:
1. Ruffled cotton bloomers underneath it all – elastic waist and leg bands.
2. Hoop cage – included at no charge because it’s my first attempt and is not perfect. It’s made from sturdy pink and blue ribbons, with the hoop wires enclosed, and ties at the waist.
3. First underskirt – sheer white chiffon with rich embroidery at the hem. Shown bustled with pins, but you can change this however you like. Flat, adjustable waistband.
4. Second underskirt – Beautiful aqua satin, with a deep ruffle at the hem. Flat adjustable waistband. Also bustled up with pins, so you can adjust to your liking.
5. Overdress – Marie Antoinette style in a gorgeous peach satin stripe. Heavy gold lace over the stomacher portion, 3/4 sleeves with flouncy ruffles. The bodice is fully boned, inner-lined, and lined in soft cotton – laces in the back through sturdy machine-set brass grommets. Modesty panel is attached. Hand-sewn, individually knotted faux pearls on the gold lace, with lace/pearl trim around the edges. White lace and wide deep peach braid trims.
6. Brocade Jacket over it all. The fabric has many shades of aqua, rose pink, and peachy gold metallic threads. It is outlined with a rich metallic gold lace, accented with hand-sewn aqua rhinestone trim and faux pearls. The jacket is fully lined in aqua satin, and fastens to the dress bodice to stay in place.
7. White full-face mask – the traditional Venetian Carnival style.
8. Styled Wig / Floral Headpiece / Hand-Painted Mask combination. More pics available on request!
