1820 Ball Gown Reproduction

Don't get bored ... sew...a master piece
My 1820 ball gown reproduction is made of beige Dupioni Silk & lace.

The original can be seen at Victoria & Albert Museum in London (UK).
Thank you to "www.cwrl.utexas.edu" for providing us with such great information on costume history.
