Description

Heavy red and black brocade with pearl and diamante trim and satin frills



This is a heavy gown ideal for Venice in February.



I have found it difficult to get a true colour or texture in the photographs. May I suggest you send for a sample before purchasing the gown.



FULLY BONED. NO CORSET REQUIRED FOR BUST UPLIFT!





THIS TRULY AMAZING LATE 18TH CENTURY *ENGLISH COURT GOWN* HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED TO GIVE THE AUTHENTIC ROCOCO LOOK WHILST REMAINING EASY TO WEAR.







THE FABRICS...



The beautiful heavy red and black brocade has an under shimmer . She is FULLY lined in satin for comfort and finished with over 16ft of wide ruffled lace and black satin frills



BODICE



Is fully lined and heavily boned (13 lengths) while the feature back strapping pulls the gown in for a fully 'corseted' look and perfect fit. The front 'v' panel has 7 pieces of boning encased within a triple layer of heavy calico that gives a fully pushed up bust. A beautiful wide trim runs all around the neckline emphasizing the deep square neckline so typical of 18th century gowns

The fully lined elbow shaped three quarter sleeves have approx. 15 ft of gorgeous shaped 9inch deep delicate lace running around the elbow, just above the flamboyant flounce there is the same beautiful satin frill that edges down the front of the bodice and skirt.

The construction of the gown coupled with the back ribbon strapping makes for a perfect fit on a range of approx. 2 or more sizes. I.e. the gown will fit several bust sizes perfectly.
