This is a refreshingly roomy and durable gown, very pretty. Bands of cotton lace on the bodice, puffy sleeves, Valenciennes lace at the hem, and many narrow pintucks provide the embellishment. Abundant crisp heavy cotton at the skirt. Some light featherstitching around the narrow waist band and neck. Joyful and confident. Entirely hand stitched. Closes with three buttons and two cotton ties, one at neck and one at waist. Superb condition.  #081000B.  #180.00
