Therefore sky blue silk taffeta was used for this dress. Just like in the original, the sleeves are made of fine lace and blue ribbons.
On special request, a rose bunch is attached to the bodice.
The pleats of the skirt as well as the pattern of the bodice and its applications correspond to the contemporary sources.
The dress can be varied in the way of wearing it, by gathering up the two-layered skirt. Where gathered, the dress is decorated with additional rose bunches.
The lower part is covered by embroidered silk organza.

Also the crinoline, the petticoat and the corset were created in our workshop. Edetailed view of the hand-made roses
The bodice with rose bouquets and leave draperies, following an historical pattern (look at the seams!). The bodice is whale-boned, in addition to the corset. The neckline is framed with fine lace. Just like on the original, the leaf draperies seek to imitate ivy.
