<p><strong class="big">Details:</strong> A gorgeous and dramatic dress, plus the lovely sound the skirt makes as it swishes! Fitted dropwaist bodice with princess seaming. The deep vee neckline is repeated in back, and is echoed by the vee waist seam. The long sleeves have moderately deep armholes – they narrow below the elbow. The full skirt is gathered at the waist, creating lovely shades of light and dark metallic – it ends with a band of the black velveteen at the hem. The skirt has a full inner slip plus the crinoline layer.</p>
