Depending on the desired look, halter straps or delicate flutter sleeves can be created. A shaping waistline accentuates the figure, while the flared, gathered skirt provides a flowing silhouette and comfortable freedom of movement. The side zipper allows for easy entry and emphasizes the authentic craftsmanship of historical dresses.
