My Civil War Ball Gown


And I am ready for the ball....except my hair! XD
I hand sewed the lace along the neckline and the button wholes also. It took a bit of time but I'm happy with the results.

All my seams are french seams to prevent fraying and for looking pretty! :)

Sorry you can't really see the hoop-skirt..it's black XD It is the first hoop-skirt and petticoat that I have made. As you can see the petticoat has 2 layers. I did not make the blouse under the corset.

I didn't have the money to buy a busk for the front so I put the boning in and made and matched the loops and buttons.
