Pretty and very feminine long very lightweight semi-sheer cotton (batiste) gown. The bodice has pintucks, lace trimmings and a tie front. The stand-up collar is also trimmed. The elbow length sleeves have lace trimmings and a 2" ruffle. You may choose long sleeved when ordering. The back is pleated for an excellent lay to the fabric. Simple skirt with a simple hem. This gown could easily be used as a nursing gown if wanted. Otherwise, it is a very subtly sexy gown. This is a classic Victorian gown with a full tweaks here and there.
Please make sure you enter your measurements in the box when ordering. There is not a lot of leeway in the bust, but could be adjusted some with the ties. The material may shrink some, but 2024 is good quality 100% cotton batiste. It will wrinkle unlike the poly/cotton batiste.
Custom orders to size are always welcome, please convo me and we will come up with your specific gown and fabric. I never or rarely use the same lace twice, so there is always variability with my lace trims. Many are vintage and one of a kind. There would be a surcharge for plus sizes and I am happy to discuss that with you. I do have a lot of vintage cotton floral fabrics and always adding more. Sizing is slightly generous for a looser fit and to allow for shrinkage.
