It is "pearl" white - a shade between bright white and off white - giving the gown a rich, creamy look. Natural silk fabrics have slubs which are an inherent part of the fibers - these should not be mistaken for flaws in the fabric. Only gowns made of natural fibers (silk, 100% cotton) are truly heirloom quality, and will not yellow with time. In my home custom sewing business, this is the most preferred fabric! These dresses are custom made. I will need your daughter's measurements and current dress size to customize the pattern. Please visit my "Measuring Instructions" page to aid you in measuring your daughter. Expertly hand-crafted using traditional French Heirloom Sewing techniques - only found in high-end couture children's boutiques or by hiring a custom seamstress experienced in this technique. I have been creating custom sewing pieces for over 20 years, and have over 30 years of sewing experience with specific training in children's heirloom sewing. My gowns are featured in one of St. Louis' premier children's boutiques.Elegant padded hanger and care instructions included. Because of the special occasion nature of First Communion dresses, only returns dated three days from your receiving the gown will be honored and refunded as a merchandise credit.  My #1 business goal is complete satisfaction - I am willing to work with you to create the gown of you and your daughter's dreams!See my other auctions for more great items! Please pay within three days of purchase. At checkout, please provide your daughter's measurements. All garments are shipped via UPS in an oversized box designed to limit wrinkles.
