This exquisite ballgown is light, comfortable, and intricately designed. This Victorian/Civil War Era ballgown is nothing less than magical when danced in. The pleat work took countless hours of intensive concentration, which paid off. This ballgown is made from 100% Dupioni silk, and a cotton lining for comfort and functonality. As you can see from the pictures, this two piece can be dressed up or down. You may also wear this to a more modern party. I made a modern bodice to go with this. The modern top is included with this purchase. Dress fits sizes 2-4 as is, but it has an extra length panel in the back for extra ease and coverage. The skirt may also be adjusted. Waistline measures up to 28" Message me for details and I can send you pics of whatever you need.
