Bodice is edged with piping and a french lace trimmed ruffle, as is the full skirt Sleeves are 3/4 length, and edged with french lace. French beading and satin ribbon accent the lower skirt, and gather the sleeves at the elbows.

Sleeves are full 3/4 length, gathered into cuffs. Skirt is full, falling below the knee, and accented with two rows of coordinating satin ribbon. Pantaloons are included for each view.
