The bodice goes on like a jacket. Lined in crepe-back-satin, there are hooks down the front, and bodice has boning. Top and sleeves will be done in silk, and attached at the waistline is the over-skirt, which is a crepe-back-satin that curves to longer in back, and the overlay is the same embroidered lace fabric that is on the front skirt. Around the satin is a large victorian style venise rose lace in champagne, and the overskirt has 3 flowers placed around with a hoop on the inside, so you can pull up the over-skirt in a kind of bustle if you want, there are ribbons inside, or you can leave it down. The sleeves are gorgeous.....3 layers. Underlayer is crepe-back-satin which is trimmed with beautiful soft pink and gold beaded fringe on a pink-ribbon base. Middle layer is the embroidered lace fabric. Top layer is draped silk held up by a flower, and top sleeve is also trimmed with the large victorian style champagne venise rose lace trim. We have used a smaller rose champagne venise trim on the bodice front, waistline, around the middle sleeve, and at the bottom of the front skirt panel and down the sides of the overskirt front.
