I love the print on this dress! Again, I never would have guessed it was authentic to the period. Click on the photos to zoom in. Here’s the photos:
Romantic. There’s piping at the armholes.
Another shot without the flash.
Bodice Shot. Horizontal tight gathering over an inch under the neckline.
Another shot of the bodice. There is a wide waist band.
The ruching makes a nice way of fitting for the bust. Again another bold print. I think we’ve been swayed by all the white muslin on the TV!
