It is fully lined and features a scoop neckline, long sleeves, and a center back invisible zipper. There is a brush train for a bride and a straight hem version for the bridesmaid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat gives this pattern its charm is the lace cape overlay. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the bride, the long lace cape gives the effect of a train from the shoulders. The cape is edged in lace and has ruching at the front for ease of movement. The center back closes with buttons to the mid point, and thereafter the lace is seamed together. A shorter option of the cape is included for the bridesmaid's dress. This is a less \"fabric-hungry\" version that would be equally charming for the bride. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original magazine photographs did not show a veil. The bride wore her hair in a bun and tucked flowers into her hair at the back and sides. It was noted that a veil would take away from the dramatic train effect of the lace cape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Juliet-style cap headdress is era-appropriate. Juliet caps were a 1970s fashion staple and were worn casually as well as for formal and bridal occasions, depending on the fabrics used and the trim and decoration applied. The Juliet-cap style headdress included in this pattern features an inner frame made from buckram or pelmet-weight home dec sew-in interfacing. The outer covering of the cap is the fabric left over from making the dress, but you could add a lace layer on top if you wished. The cap is made from one pattern piece, with darts at the back and sides to enable the cap to fit without a wire edging. The cap is edged in lace, and fabric flowers are attached to the back. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a bonus feature, this pattern also includes a guide to working with lace fabrics, including information about different types of lace and a tutorial section on seam options and finishes for lace or sheer garments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Note \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- This pattern is designed to fit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/agirlforalltime.co.uk\/\"\u003eA Girl For All Time\u003c\/a\u003e®\u003cspan\u003e Dolls specifically and will not fit the standard 18 inch doll such as American Girl® Doll.
