There are occasions on every lady's calendar that call for dressing up, but not every dress-up occasion calls for a ball gown. 

The Reception Gown is the dress designed to fill in that spot in your wardrobe.

This beautiful two-piece Reception Gown features a lovely four colour satin brocade 1873 style polonaise

and full trained underskirt in a warm brown heavy taffeta.

The polonaise neckline features a lace trim, while the sleeves and back vents are trimmed in silk ribbon and fringe trim,

and colour matched tassels and self covered buttons.  The bodice closes in front on self covered buttons. 

The polonaise measures 42 inches at the bust line and 33 inches in the waist.

The sweeping trained underskirt in shown over a bustle (not included) and is finished at the bottom with a pleated

self-ruffle and silk ribbon and fringe trim.   The skirt closes in back on hooks and eyes.

The skirt measures 32 inches in the waist and 40 inches at the front length.
