Fabric: Mid-weight white satin, sheer pink crisp organza
Full 8-gored skirt is serged, and hand-pleated at the waist seam for
a professional finish. Bottom tier features a satin ruffle with a
1" flat hem and a narrow flat white lace along the top edge.
The next row of ruffles is also made of satin, with narrow flat white
lace along both edges.
The next row of ruffles is made from sheer pink crisp organza, with a
narrow rolled hem along the edges. This ruffle sweeps up and down
across the front, then up to the center back. Where the ruffle
peaks in the front there is a wide pink satin ribbon bow. Between
the center back sweeps are yards and yards more ruffles.
The front of the skirt has a very short peplum made from the pink organza,
and is trimmed with light pink ruffled lace.
Bodice is white satin, lined with a poly-cotton broadcloth for sturdiness.
It is a very fitted shape through the waist section, with six darts.
The style of Swiss Miss features a lace-up look in the center front,
using specialty lace that allows a cord to be inserted through the
holes. This cord is not intended to be used to tighten the bodice
(use the sashes for this).
Shown here with pink ribbon.
The lace is then trimmed with a white
ruffled lace that has pink satin woven through the flat part. The
bodice inset is organza over satin, and is elasticized across the top.
This allows for flexibility if you to add fullness to your chest. It is
as flexible, depending on how much cleavage is desired.
The entire neckline is finished with light pink ruffled lace, and upon
inspection of the stitch used to sew it on, you will see a series of
little hearts.
Sashes are made from the organza and stem from the side seams, and tie
into a lovely stiff bow that will hold its shape in the back.
Skirt will fit over a 100-yard crinoline (not included).
Full pouffy sleeves are made white satin and have the traditional UniKaren
triangular overlay, trimmed with the light pink ruffled lace as seen on
the peplum. A light pink satin bow adorns the tip of the overlay
to match the bows on the organza ruffle.. Sleeves are elasticized
for comfort, and the hems are finished with 1" flat white lace, as is on
the hem of the bottom tier.
Center back zipper with hook & eye closure at the top.
