Southern Belle Dresses

A southern belle dress should create a vision of grace and elegance. This is depicted by the design of the hoops and layers of ruffles on the skirt. To accessories the dress the ladies should carry along a parasol and tie their long hairs into a banana curl. The dresses are made from organza or a filmy material to emanate an airy dress.

When designing a southern belle dress the following materials are necessary; an organza fabric, ribbons, elastic, zipper, a hoop or a square dancing crinoline skirt and the sewing machinery.

Four cap sleeves, two for each side are then cut and assembled onto the bodice.

The skirts top layer is designed with several panels gathered by elastic on the waist to create fullness. A ruffle is added along the bottom of the skirt’s top layer. The length of the skirt should hang below the knees. The back side of the skirt is then attached to the front part. To create the dress, the skirt is attached to the bodice while sewing the pointed side of the waist above the waistband of the skirt. Lastly a crinoline is added to emphasize more on the fullness of the dress.
