An esquisite evening gown from the late victorian era. It features mutton chop sleaves and a bustle in back. The fabric is a burgandy silk.... eggplant/purple hue... its a dark color, hard to describe. Embroidery and beading cover the entire dress in shades of copper and gold. Very unique! This dress is pieced together from actual vintage gowns for authenticity. A great evening dress or costume for Victorian or Edwardian periods.
