But for amazing seamstresses in Brazil, who still cultivate almost-lost arts, this gown would be merely a dream. What makes it real is the exquisite hand-smocked waist, embroidered by hand with tiny Beige or Blue rosebuds, on soft as a whisper White 100% Egyptian cotton. Styled to beguile with a V-cut bodice edged in lace, shirred shoulders, and hemstitched flounce, it makes you feel it exists only for you. Hand wash or dry clean.
