This beautiful Watteau gown has been custom dye-painted Venetian appliqué of the bust, shoulders and back Watteau.  Very unique cap sleeves cascade over the sides.  A split Watteau train flows from the shoulder area.  With a keyhole style Queen Anne neckline and a sheer overnet at the shoulders that is covered with Venetian appliqué, the gown is very distinctive and fluid. The Watteau train can be easily bustled into a romantic drape at the back waist.

Colors are ivory, cornflower blue, pink, yellow and golden brown.  Twin epaulets of sequined and beaded leaves are sewn at the shoulders.  A center medallion of pink corded leaves feature silver glass beads and is sewn at center bust.

Crushed cornflower blue velvet ribbon and variegated Venice daisies trim the skirt edge of the gown for over six yards. The entire skirt and train are edged with seven yards of hand dyed crushed velvet, woven in and out of Venetian daisy trim. Bottom circumference of the hem measures a total of 225 inches or almost 19 feet!

 It’s a one of a kind unusual gown, not another like it in the world.

Hand Dyed, Hand sewn, one of a kind.
