My only complaint about this dress is that it didn’t have pockets! However, I’m sure those can be added by a skilled seamstress.

This is a stunning ivory silk gold brocade dress. The detail work is simply amazing. This dress made me fall in love with brocade.The top and hemline of the dress are trimmed with an intricate design flowers with tiny pearls and gold thread which were hand stitched.

The skirt of the dress has decent volume without being overpowering, but Some of the top of the layers could be removed if you wanted to pair it down even further.

The back zipper is hidden by 34 groupings of 3 buttons covered in the same fabric for a total of 102 buttons!! Very flattering lines.

Short train can be bustled up for dancing and fun!

This dress is simple, yet elegant.

I have samples of the material from what was removed from when the dress was hemmed to the correct length that I’d be happy to ship upon request!
