This listing is for a sample (about a size 4, approx. a B cup: Bust 34-Waist24- Hip36-ish ) that I made earlier this year. I was experimenting with this Iridescent Silk Chiffon. Which, while beautiful, is something that I would not choose to drape this type of dress again. It was kinda a bear! LOL

I wouldn't usually list something like this- I decided to list this to recoup the cost, but there are a few things that a potential buyer should know. **I recommend this sample for costume/theatrical production or beauty pageant,  rather than a wearable gown:

On the bodice: There is a bit of 'thread exposure'. You cannot see it at a distance, but you can -sort of- close up. there is a little 'nick' on the back where my shears clipped a drape (about 1/4"). The drapes near the zipper don't exactly match, but are close.

On the skirt: Along the hem, there are places where its not exactly neat, but it can easily be fixed.
*the seam with the zipper on the inner skirt is not yet finished, I will sew that up when it is purchased.

This gown features a sweetheart neckline on a bodice that is fitted to a dropped waist. Hand sewn pleats are draped onto the bodice following the natural curves of the body.

Two gathered chiffon skirts create a full silhouette. the outer skirt is slit up to the drapes at the center front and center back, also features "trains" on the sides. The inner skirt is a simple shirred a-line. The skirt is not lined. It can show a bit of the silhouette of the legs, kinda sexy!

Iridescent Silk Chiffon shell, Silk Taffeta Bodice (Bustier-boned), and China Silk lining. Carefully french seamed. Fastened with a side invisible zipper.
