Sheer Party Dress 1860-1865

Last night I put the finishing touches on the 1860s little white party dress for the auction this weekend.  I had hoped to put a bit of narrow trim around the neckline, but wasn't satisfied with the trim I had on hand, nor what I could find at local stores, so I left it plain.  I think it still works well with the little piping.  If I have time before I leave tomorrow, I'll try to whip up a sash for it, because every little party dress deserves a sash!
