The
beauty,
gracefulness
and
style
of
this
gown
is
outstanding. The
fabric is a combination of cream silk satin, faille, lace and
multiple small tassels. The bodice has satin in the center, and faille
on the sides and back. The yoke and cuffs on the elbow length sleeves
are lace that has been replaced. Eight satin covered buttons in front
and h/e closures on the lace.The lower area of the back of the bodice
has several criss-cross satin designs just below the faille on the
softly rounded back just above the hipline. The highly detailed skirt
has asymmetrical satin just below the bodice that appears to be part of
the bodice, but is actually on the skirt just below the waistband. This satin has rows of tiny tassels that continues down the sides of the skirt and goes down to the back to form a pleat with tassels in back. The tassels drape over the faille in front and skim the top of multiple fan pleated satin that is 16" wide and 31" long that graces the center of the skirt. The fan pleats are surrounded on each side with full tiered ruffles that go from sides to back and end beneath the satin fringe on the sides. This graces the upper area of the most elegant and long train (77" from waist). There is a long panel from waist to end of train with pleats on both sides in various widths. The end of the train is slightly rounded. This detailed and lovely gown is in very good and wearable condition with very few issues the lace yoke has 2-3 tiny holes, not very noticeable. The lace yoke has been replaced. A light stain and tiny hole below the last button on the bodice. Minor issues under arms, as pictured, the lining in very good condition.
