A separate belt is has coordinating trim and is tied into a bow in the back

You may choose to close the gown with hooks & eyes, grommets with lacing, buttons, or an invisible zipper.



It should be worn over a hoopskirt and petticoats, which are sold separately.
 




Prices begin at $300 depending on fabrics and trims selected.
