This 1910's Edwardian evening gown was made from a black silk satin material and features gorgeous coppor colored beadwork that accentuates the chest and wrap style skirt. A true Empire Revival gown with a gathered empire waist that gives a gorgeous Art Nouveau allure. Waist tape with stays shape the waist and provide structure, with a slim fit through the hip and skirt that elongates the figure. This stunning gown falls just above the ankle, with two layers of closure for added protection; eye-hooks down the white silk inner layer and external black silk. A wonderful collectors piece that is completely wearable.
