Key Features Silhouette: Ball Gown Neckline: Sweetheart Fabric: Textured organza jacquard Special Details: Ruched bodice with flattering basque waistline Train: Chapel train Color: Ivory Perfect For Your Body Type The ball gown silhouette defines the waist and flows gracefully over the hips, creating a beautifully balanced shape

The costume is distinguished by a general air of good style and a simplicity of adjustment that will appeal strongly to the woman whose dressmaking must be done at home

It has a full skirt over a multilayered tulle petticoat, intricately designed bodice panels, and the entire gown hand-embroidered with tiny mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls. To add to the dramatic look was a 25-foot train, purposely made to be the longest royal train, and which took careful folding (and was rehearsed!) to properly fit into the carriage

What you'll notice when looking through these archival shots is that so many retro fashion moments still feel relevant
