The bodice goes on like a jacket. Lined in white crepe-back-satin, there are white hooks down the front, and bodice has boning. The overskirt is trimmed around the bottom with a different light gold venise lace, this is also used around the top sleeve. Panel of gold off-white and pearl trim down front sides of overskirt. Neckline has a soft white/gold ruffled lace, and floral gold/off-white and pearl floral trim, which is also around the middle of the sleeves. Underlayer of sleeve is a scalloped off-white/gold lace fabric, and the silk part of the sleeve is trimmed with off-white/gold beaded pearl fringe. The overskirt has ribbons/hoops inside, so you can pull up the sides for a bustle effect, see photos.

This is an example of a gown we did for a customer, we liked the combo so much we are offering it as a custom order. Please note that silk is hand dyed, so we will get as close a shade match to this as possible, or you can have any other color silk you want. The trims used on this one are ivory/gold floral sparkle trims. The trims also come in white/silver, white, ivory, black...etc. We will e-mail you for details for your custom gown and measurements after your order is placed. We do have girls dresses available to match, as well as jewelry sets! E-mail questions anytime to belinda@romanticthreads. com, and add the hoop skirt below.
