The full skirt is gathered into a natural waistline, dipping to a graceful point in front. The gown has a back-laced placket closing. Please call for availability or to discuss fabric options. Like the day dress, the ball gown also features a low square neckline and natural waist. The center front of the bodice is trimmed as a false stomacher with a layer of lace emphasizing the pointed center front.
Sleeves are elbow length with rich, frothy flounces of lace at the elbows.
The petticoat is a full underskirt with a wide flounce of lace along the front lower edge. The gown has a back-laced placket closing. Please call for availability or to discuss fabric options. Like the original kind, these are fixed to a waistband made to the wearer's size and are simply tied on around the waist. To remove it for washing, carefully take out the stitching at the ends of the hoop casing and pull out the hooping.
