Blue Silk Gown

This is a nicer day dress made of a lovely blue silk taffeta. I want to say it's a shot silk, but I can't quite remember if it actually is. It looks like it's a blue/black shot silk. Gorgeous fabric, though and so nice to work with. The bodice is darted with two darts on either side of the front opening and has pagoda sleeves as well as cap sleeves. The sleeves are trimmed with tassels and a decorative braid, which add an elegant touch to this already magnificent fabric.
