This dress is a statement piece. Made only as a special order it comes in Linen or silk. The dress has 8 vertical pleats down the front and one large pleat down the spine at the back. The sleeves are long and gather at the wrist. I have made it to fit me, but it can be made to any bust size and height, in any colour of silk or linen. I have worn it out a lot and gather followers with each experience. It works well with a petticoat beneath and mad shoes. www.trippen.com have great shoes that go well.
