The back neckline has a standing (wired) embroidered net collar. Sleeves are full length, with shirring details at the elbow. The foundation bodice is lightly boned, with an interior waistband and a center front opening with hook and eye closures. The full, long skirt has a center back opening with hook & eye closures. The center front panel is embroidered net, trimmed with black cording and beaded buttons to match the bodice center front. The skirt back and side panels (which partly overlap the CF panel) are printed silk chiffon underlaid with green silk chiffon, pleated at the waist and sides to form ‘panniers’ at the hips. A matching applied ruffle at the hemline is trimmed with two rows of ¼" wide black velvet ribbon. The ¾" wide waistband and skirt lining are ivory silk twill fabric. Exhibited 2018, "In the Garden" |
