The softly pleated skirt falls in billowy folds and joins the bodice at the natural waistline. Loops and buttons finish the front edge. Fabric suggestions include taffeta, satin, faille, moire, brocade, crepe, seersucker, pique, lawn, chintz and chambray. Instruction sheet intact and also in excellent condition. Envelope is in great condition.
Ruched sleeves are an unusual touch but balance out the gown very well.
Other than the boning, this pattern is quite simple and quick to make. There are 21 pattern pieces, with 10 of them making up the ruffled tiers. Instruction sheet is included and intact. Envelope is in wonderful condition with 1 tear on back. This is truly a collectors pattern, besides being an incredibly beautiful wedding gown.
