You are bidding on a stunning, hand made, one-of-kind BAROQUE / ROCOCO / GEORGIAN / MARIE ANTOINETTE costume in cream and nude/pale smokey pink.

The costume consists of two pieces:

  1. Corset style top with full arms and dramatic circular arms, with full gathered and draped overskirt (the nude/pale smokey pink part of the dress - see gallery for close up of the beautifully stitch patterned crepe satin effect)
  2. Full net underskirt, with luxurious cream polyester sheen satin overskirt and full net bustle.  

The front of the corset style boddice does up with large, heavy duty hook and eye, up to a beautiful squared low cut neck, trimmed with an antique style lace. The central line of the hook & eye, plus parrallel vertical pleats down each side, elongate the body, giving a slimming effect. The arms are slim fitting and finish with stunning, full circular draping cuffs, embellished to the max with lace and a large statement cream tie bow, matching the underskirts.

The back of the boddice is corsetted with cream ribbon and trimmed with antique style lace to match the front.

The pink overskirt falls luxuriously from the waist in billowing drapes on either side and picks up the full net bustle at the back to give maximum fullness.

Due to the fact that the underskirt has an elasticated waist band and the top if full adjustable due to its corset style fastening, this outfit should comfortably fit anyone from a size 10 to a 14.

Used item, in very good wearable condition, with no tears etc. Item will need dry cleaning or hand washing, prior to wear, to remove general wear marks on the hemline and sleeve edges.

If you have any questions at all, I will be happy to answer them, please message me.
