This is the gown that started this designer’s heirloom sewing career. The gown was made of imported Swiss made Nelona, a 100% cotton batiste, with French cotton laces. The gown has a high yolk with pin tucks, insertion lace, and rows of machine embroidery. The short full sleeves have a beading lace trim with a ribbon woven through beading to control the fullness at the bottom. The front of the skirt is embellished with 5 white on white embroideries that are surrounded by insertion lace. There are rows of pin tucks on either side of the embroideries. The bottom of the gown is finished with ruffled lace. This gown buttons all the way down the back and has shell pearl buttons. It measures 26 inches from the neck to the bottom of the ruffle. The included slip is a simple A line style trimmed with one row of lace around the hem. Chloe’s birthdate was embroidered on the back of the skirt button facing.
Prices generally range in the $235 to $300 range for 100% cotton batiste gowns depending on embroideries and laces. Gowns made of 100% linen will cost approximately $100 more.
