BUT THAT'S NOT ALL......The slip is absolutely beautiful.  It is made from a soft pink polyester/cotton fabric.  Bottom is gathered up approximately every 10" with small white satin bows, creating a swag or balloon effect around entire hemline. Hemline is finished with 2-1/2" Victorian- lace with pearls and silver beading. The soft pink fabric peeks through the yards of lace insertion and pearls creating a gorgeous illusion.  Total yardage for gown and slip is approx. 6 yards and approx. 30 yards of lace, not to mention the many, many hand-sewn pearls. This gown took me months to make. This gown is fit for a "Princess" and will be an heirloom to treasure for generations. I've REDUCED the price on this gown due to unemployment.  I hope you will consider this gown is well worth over $250.00. I accept Paypal, Personal Checks (must clear bank prior to shipment) and Money Orders.  Thanks so much for looking and check out my other listed items. I make shabby chic pillows, quilts, baby items, and almost anything you can think of that's "pink" and shabby-chic!
