Fabric: Medium weight bridal lavender satin, and
delicate voile (pronounced "vwal" not "voyle").
All voile ruffles are made with narrow flat white lace across the top and
wider flat scalloped lace along the bottom, and are attached with white
ruffled lace.
Satin bodice features an elegant white sequined appliqué over the center.
Delicate white voile ruffles go from center front over the shoulders
to the center back.
Peter Pan collar is made with lavender satin on the outside, and lining on
the underside. Between the layers is the same ruffled white lace as in
the rest of the outfit.
Neckline is finished with a bias strip made from white satin,
with a little white satin ribbon bow sewn to the center front.
Full pouffy lavender satin sleeves stand up well on their own. A beautiful lacey
ruffle adorns the sleeve, with a cute lavender satin bow and knot set at
the bottom of the ruffle. Hand pleated at the shoulder for a
professional finish. Elasticized at the arm opening for a
comfortable fit.
An apron is attached at the waist, made from the satin fabric with a satin
ruffle. The ruffle is trimmed in white lace and attached with
ruffled white lace.
At the center front waist seam are two wide gros-grain ribbon bows at the top of
the apron. You'll see that same bow again in the wrist cuff.
Skirt consists a base of satin, with a satin bottom tier. Above that is a
white voile ruffle that goes all the way around and sweeps up to the
center back. Between the sweeps are rows and rows more ruffles to
fill in the back, which I call "rufflebutt". Skirt is full and
will fit over full petticoat. Shown here on a 100-yard crinoline (not
included).
White delicate voile sashes stem from the side seams to create a perky bow over
the center back.
Center back zipper, with hook & eye loop at the top.
The wrist cuff is made from the lavender satin, with the same lace trim
along the top & bottom edges. A large white gros-grain bow is sewn
to the center. Elastic runs through the center. Fits 7-11".
