For Faith
The "Ruffle Dress"
The belt appears
black but is a very vivid red velvet. Gown is shown here over a 175
inch hoop. The dress is actually worn over a 191 inch bottom
circumference hoop. You can see the difference on the ruffle dress page in
Dee's and Marci's pictures. They both have the larger hoops
but are very different in height: one is 5'7 and the other is 5'2.
Gown requires a large heavy duty hoop.
