Truly an AMAZING gown! The bodice is fitted with a wide scoop neckline extending from shoulder to shoulder. There is a border that is made from the same silk fabric and gives the look of a ribbon with hand sewn pearls thru out. The border wraps around the waist, bottom of sleeve and edge of skirt. Beautifully designed gown! The back of the gown has beautiful silk covered buttons. The gown is fully lined and has additional layers of crinoline for added fullness.
