I have custom constructed the Rococo trim from a heavy weight wide satin ribbon, and scalloped white scrolling laces. Embellishments are in pink, white French scrolled lace. Luscious looking cabbage roses accenting the Rococo trims. These custom built trims add the confectionary dessert appeal that was a favorite theme during the Rococo period. Large delightful ribbon bow clusters add the finishing touches. The bodice is made on princess lines with boning in all seams. The flounced sleeves are lined from the shoulders to elbow in soft muslin. The under sleeves are made from antique ecru lace. Sleeves are embellished in the same golden Rococo trim that is on the neckline. Bows are removable, and the dress can be worn with or without the bows. White lace overlay that covers the center front bodice. The bodice hem line has piping for a richer look.

The bodice opens and closes in the back with a pink ribbon drawstring running through industrial strength grommets. A privacy panel is also built into the back opening. The privacy panel can extend the bodice corset by adding 1 to 2 inches. The skirt is pleated onto a true waistband.The waistband can be made to your exact waist size, or it can be made a little larger with a length of elastic for slight weight gain or loss. The skirt opens and closes at the back with industrial strength hooks and bars. A privacy panel is also at the back opening.
