This gown is made with deep Venice Lace trim around the neckline and shoulders, in your choice of white, ivory or black. The top laces down the back, is lightly boned for support, without being corseted. The neckline is a very deep rounded square, with shoulder straps for support. The bodice of the gown is double lined, and shaped for a flattering fit.
The amazing part of this gown is the skirt- starting with a hand crafted wire bustle (light weight and flexible for sitting). The skirt of the gown is slim in the front, and very full in the back- floor length when worn with the bustle, and a slight train when worn without. The hemline of the skirt has a very full pleated ruffle and additional row of Venice Lace. Wearing the gown with or without the bustle gives you the option of both a Turn of the Century gown, and a more modern look. The simple drape of the skirts lets the romantic shape be the focus of the outfit- and bustles make your waist look tiny!
This is the Allison Victorian Gown worn with the bustle- the bustle is adjustable to be larger or smaller, and is removable. Wearing the gown with the bustle make this a very comfortable and the skirt extra "swooshy". It is perfect for a warmer day, an outside wedding, or indoors.
