The items have hand made panels of coffee Duchess lace extensively applied. The shoulder straps are dainty, spaghetti style

All the seams have been hand stitched.
The lace is French and was hand made.
The skirt of the under slip has been cut on the bias.
These delicious petticoats look amazing when worn as a dress, fabulously chic and unique, equally stunning in the boudoir
