Belle's Pink Gown & Cloak: Research
Belle's Pink Gown is a one piece floor length dress of three different shades of pink. The bateau neck bodice is dark pink, trimmed down center front in a medium shade of pink. The skirt and sleeves are this same color. The trim around the waistline, down the center of the skirt, and around the hem are the lightest shade of pink. This color is repeated on the 3/4 length sleeve flounces, and the shawl collar, which gathers slightly into a small V shape center front. She wears a bow in her hair in the medium pink. Her hooded floor-length cloak is dark pink, almost maroon, and trimmed with white fur around the hood and the short caplet. No visible means of closure - either the cloak simply lifts over the head or there is a center front opening in the caplet hidden by the darkness of the fabric.
