This Turn-of-the-Century "Gibson Girl" gown of ivory silk is entirely handmade and fully lined and constructed with French handsewing. The blouson bodice is shaped with the famous Gibson Girl "poof" and the closely fitting skirt flairs to a gentle semi-train or "sweep" in the back. The waist is accented with a tight cummerbund and the leg-o-mutton sleeves fit close to the arms and drape over the wrist.

The bodice front and high wedding-ring collar are embellished with antique lace and a deep border of hand crochet lace adorns the hem of the skirt. The gown is easily altered with hidden tucks in the bodice. It has deep pleats at the waist band.
