The Imperial Ivory Archive is a maison-crafted heirloom gown created exclusively for families seeking exceptional craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and once-in-a-lifetime portraits
Perfect for any occasion, this dress combines casual charm with chic details, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe
Bodice seams add gentle structure, giving the dress that sculpted fit minis do best
The shift is from Simplicity by American Duchess, the petticoat was done using my measurements (the hem is 4x my waist circumference) and the false bum is from the American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking
I especially love this combination for fall and early winter travel, when you need real warmth but still want to look put together
Bold contrast stripe detailing throughout
