|
Ball gown of plain jacquard fabric. Well fitting bodice reinforced with baleen. Front is cut from two parts with a pointed bib (bavette) loosely lying over the skirt. Each part fitted by tucks or cuts. Back laced in the middle is cut from four pieces. Over the oval neckline on the back one may see a white pleated frill. Around the entire neckline there is a decoration of beaded tassels in the upper part creating a grid and falling to the bottom in the shape of teeth. A short sleeve is decorated with ruffle. Skirt of jacquard fabric is sewn in the center front with several horizontal rows of beaded tassels - such as at the neckline - between those are bows made of plain fabric. Front and side gores are decorated at the bottom with fanciful frills of the same fabric as tunic - they both have beads sewn on edges. Tunic made of light color smooth fabric laid in deep folds, has the shape of pannier, spreading from the center front to the sides. Both sides are pinned in front to form a horizontal fold. They arch backwards where they are gathered and hidden under the pinned folds of the train. Train of light color fabric cut separately from rectangular gores, has at the bottom a band of leaves, but their pattern is different than the pattern on the fabric of the skirt. Beaded tassels also appear on the place where skirt is connected with the train.
