1890s dinner gown

I feel the images just don't do this wee outfit any justice!  Its fully lined, has an underskirt and it fits the doll neatly but because the black is so dark you cant see the detail all around the edges. I cant make it quite as fitted as the full size one for 2 reasons. Number 1 is that fabric drapes better on a full size person, in a tiny scale its hard to get the same flow in the fabric. Number 2 is because the bodice is fully lined its somewhat stiff, but it has lace ties at the back so that it can fit almost any 1/12th size doll or mannequin.
