Description

This listing is for a ready to wear one of a kind Regency ballgown almost entirely handsewn from a dreamy light aqua blue colored art silk sateen in a high quality. This dress features over 25 meters of gold trimmings and has an ornamental jacquard ribbon in silver, black and brown framing the hemline and cuffs. Ten diamond shaped appliques finished off with piping, gold ribbon stars and each dark brown tassel adorns the trained skirt all the way around, and so does a richly gathered bottom row of self fabric that even is found in a narrower version on the short puffy sleeves. Tiny bronze colored matte sequins in the shape of stars is a small but significant detail in this creation, as well as the vintage spangled trim that frames the waistline and the center front applique (in the same design as the ones on the skirt). The bodice has a swag shaped collar lined in a dark greyish brown art silk taffeta and closes in the back with five metal buttons and golden thread loops. This showstopper statement dress is fully lined in a light blue white patterned cotton that is a recycled duvet cover and the hem is then also self fabric faced.
