Fabric:  Black shiny satin for the dress, black organza for the black apron, white satin for the white apron. White nylon lace.

Skirt fits a full petti, shown here on a 100-yard crystalline one (not included).  Eight-gored skirt is guaranteed to fit the fullest petticoat. All ruffles have 1" scalloped flat lace trim on the hem and narrow flat white lace trim along the top edges.

Upper ruffle sweeps up at the center back, and between the sweeps is yards and yards of ruffles.

The darted satin bodice feature ruffles going from center front to center back. Stand-up collar is made has a two-snap closure at the back.  White satin ribbon embellishes the center front neckline.

Full pouffy sleeves are elasticized for upper arm comfort.  Pleated at the shoulder for a professional finish, these sleeves are made of black satin and are finished with white lace trim to match the skirt ruffles.  White satin ribbon bows adorn the sides of the sleeves.
