I'm attending a Regency-themed function with a nod to all things Jane Austen next weekend. The gown, which is of a pretty, woven-patterned white cotton and features strings for adjusting neckline and empire waist, is solidly made with a lining and an invisible back zipper. The only hitch is that this gown is really long, as if made for a giantess. If I'd known, I might have specified that I'm 5'4", but as it was on sale thought it too much to expect hemming before shipment. As it is, a tailor charged me more than the cost of the gown to hem it! Ahhh, well. I will have the dress for future events and am happy with the general quality of workmanship. The tag states the work is a product of Guatemala, by the way. I will post a picture when I get gussied up for the event! :-)

The dress is perfect!
