When your doll enters a room wearing this resplendent BALLGOWN all in silver, she will be the center of everyone's attention. From the silver netted CLOAK to her silver DANCING SLIPPERS, everything she wears is silver, silver, SILVER! The gown consists of several elements: a double tulled HALF-SLIP, a lined lamé HALF-SKIRT, a two-tiered OVERDRESS, and a wide BELT. She has laced newest silver PANTIES under it all. Her jewelry of a ‘diamond' NECKLACE and BRACELET complete the look. This is a stunning outfit made from exquisite and expensive quality fabrics and is intended more for a collector than for a young child.
The outfit includes:
•CLOAK - Soft silver netting with full hood, gathered at the neckline. Its large circumference completely covers the ballgown. The entire edge is hemmed in silver/gray braid. At the throat is a magnet closure hidden by metallic silver flowers. *Please slide the magnet sideways to disengage, as it is stronger than the thread and delicate fabric.*
•OVERDRESS – Bodice is made of a striped silver fabric that is fully lined inside. The ¾ length lamé puff sleeves have pin tucks at the cuffs and are hemmed with an elaborate braid trim festooned with silver beads and metallic thread. Gracing the front of the dress bodice is a handsewn ‘sash' trim of metallic silver flowers that begins at the back neckline of the dress and crosses the bodice, ending at the front right side of the waist. The two layered skirt is gathered at the waistband. The top layer is a delicate silver jacquard fabric that comes to a gentle point in the center. The second layer is an all-over sparkling mirror fabric. Both layers are hemmed with self-made silver lamé piping. The dress closes in the back with one white hook-and-eye at the waist, and a ‘diamond' studded ball and loop at the neckline. The dress is intended to show some 'skin' in the back.
•HALF-SKIRT – Full length gathered skirt of true delicate silver lamé is fully lined in a shimmering silver/gray polyester. Elastic waistband.
•BELT- Silver/gray polyester covered with two layers of the silver netting, hemmed all around with the lamé piping, and lined in silver polyester. The belt closes in the back using a snap, and hook-and-eye which are covered by silver metallic flowers.
•HALF-SKIRT – Two layers of white tulle gathered in an elastic waistband.
•PANTIES - Uses the silver/gray fabric of the skirt and is gathered with white lace.
•SLIPPERS – Self-made using several types of fabric and covered in the silver metallic netting. There are tabs in the back to facilitate getting them on and off. They are trimmed in more silver lamé piping.
•Necklace – Hand strung using crystal and bugle beads, silver balls, and a ‘diamond' pendant in the center. It has a lobster closure in back.
•Bracelet – Hand strung on elastic cording - a double row of silver balls, crystal and bugle beads and a ‘diamond' centerpiece.

To be resourceful and environmentally green, the materials I use originate from a variety of sources: theater costume shops, donations from friends and family, thrift stores and my own fabric collection. This allows me to work with a vast assortment of often expensive and heirloom fabrics I could not afford or find. All materials are clean and examined for imperfections; however, a certain level of wear is natural. For more information about my process and story, please read about me at ApparelbyCarol on Etsy.
