This is a truly exquisite gown! The sleeves sit off the shoulder with a slight scoop neckline. The bodice is a taupe color with an ivory lace overlay. There are several flowers sewn on to the lace of the bodice that have a chenille feel to them. The flowers continue down the tulle for an elegant look. The skirt has four layers of ivory colored tulle. The top layer has an accordion pleat effect. Under the four layers of tulle is a layer of lining that is accented with lace around the bottom, so when you are walking a little bit of lace is noticeable. Under the bottom layers are three layers of crinoline to give the gown fullness. This gown is bustled in the back and has a beautiful bow. There are twenty seven buttons going down back.
