About MeIvory satin brocade evening dress comprising tightly fitted boned bodice with a beadwork decoration and a long a-line skirt with fullness and a train at the back.

Although ivory was a popular colour for eveningwear, many of these dresses started out as wedding dresses, kept by prudent Victorians and worn again for best.
