I don't normally post photos without a proper photoshoot...but I'll make an
exception. Please keep in mind that I just took these in my dining room.
You should be able to zoom into the photos.
More about the gown...the waistline is at normal or slightly above normal
position. The skirt is A-line and full length. Because it is not on a
dressform and fully dressed out with undergarments, you do not get the full
breath of the skirt. In the photos the skirt hangs straight down because of
the beads' weight. There appears to be a newer zipper that has been added
at a later date.

Very stiff netting inside the sleeve: it is so stiff that I couldn't fully
reverse the entire sleeve
