Description
I made this gown to wear to a Civil War Ball that I went to in January. The ball was hosted by You Can Live History and was held in a chuch's gymnasium. The gown came out really well considering that I rushed it to finished it in time. What I don't like about it is that it wrinkles in front and the hoopskirt shows through the fabric. Aargh.Related content

Just throw a ruffled petticote under there and your problem is solved.
This is very nice. I like the color.
