Victorianesque: Ball Gown

Special request for ~HoukouSakura, poor girl has been waiting for it for ages (Since March, to be precise!) and now it's finally finished! I hope she likles it.

Silhouette wise it's from the 1850's, but the over skirts are more '60's-ish and the lower flounces were inspired by a 1870's era dress, so really it's a total mish-mash of styles!

P.s. My sister says the purple is too bright, it hurts her eyes. But every time I try to darken it it ends up looking washed out, or it goes too dark and you cant see the details!
