I can across this beautiful dress a few years back and loved it so much I kept it. However it is now time to find good homes for some of my treasures. This dress is so beautiful. Please check out all the photos. There are three layers to the bottom skirt, satin, netting then the lace. Delicate buttons on the sleeves of jacket, the back of dress has a zipper. I'm sure the "crown" should have had netting attached. From arm pit to arm pit this measures approx 15 inches and laying flat the waist measures 13 across. From top of the dress to bottom is approx 46 inches. No rips or tears just a small bit of rubbing under the arms. My 85 year old mother informed me the color of this is candlelight.
