A taste of wine and roses.




This little wine and chocolate brown dress is the very different style that was so common in this era. The pleated skirt, attached to the bodice, and the separate jacket. This outfit was a bit more involved then it looks. Bodice of chocolate brocade, and skirt of wine fabric, with a pleated "belt" at hip level. The jacket has wine red velvet cuffs, body of chocolate brocade and one set of collars in wine fabric same as the skirt and the other collar set of velvet.
The skirt/bodice closes in the back the jacket closes in the front.
Doesn't she look grown up?
