I have for sale two dresses, one a typical woman's style and one a teen style.
The woman's style is made of dark blue cotton plaid, and the bodice is lined with a repro cotton print (dark pink) and the hem is faced with the same print. Jewel neckline, darted-to-fit bodice, and long bishop sleeves with a ruffle-edged cuff. Piped at neckline, sleeve/shoulder seam and waistband. Back Bodice has decorative hand-stitched curved tucks. The bodice closes up the front with black hook and eyes. Machine sewn with cotton thread, handwork at neckline, bodice front opening, waistband, skirt treatment and hem. Right now there is a small lace collar and cuffs on the dress but I will replace them with new for whoever buys this. The skirt has 3 1/2" decorative tucks (could be let down if longer length is desired) and is full enough to wear over a cage and several petticoats. (In pictures, shown over a 110" cage and 2 petti's) Worn several times, but in great condition with no rips/tears, etc.
Measurements of Dress (yours should be smaller)
Waist: 28"
Bust: 33"
Bodice Front Length: 12"
Bodice Back Length: 13"
Sleeve Length: 21"
Skirt Length: 42"
Asking $75 plus $5 for shipping. Pictures:

The next dress I made for myself as a quick-fix for a dance I went to early this year. I needed something fast, and something that opened in the front because I was nursing at the time. It is *not* a ball gown style nor is it really appropriate for my age so I'm selling this as a teen style dress.
It is made of 100% cotton, pink flowers printed on a yellow background. The bodice is lined with white cotton and the hem is faced with white cotton. Short sleeves, wide neckline, and darted-to-fit bodice. The neckline, sleeve/shoulder seam and waist are piped. The sleeves have a bias ruffled edge for a 'fluttery' look. Handwork at neckline, bodice front opening, skirt treatment and hem and for back decorative tucks. The skirt is gauged by hand. Bodice is decorated with sheer, crisp white lace (probably synthetic, but I thought it looked nice) and a blue silk flower. The skirt is full enough to wear over a cage and petticoats (in pictures shown over 110" cage and 2 petti's) and can easily be shortened with tucks for a shorter skirt, appropriate for a teen.
Measurements of Dress (yours should be smaller)
Waist: 28"
Bust: 33"
Bodice Front Length: 10"
Bodice Back Length: 10"
Sleeve Length: 6.5"
Skirt Length: 42"
Asking $75 plus $5 shipping
