Hi Deb!
Formal Civil War dress would be an evening gown with off-the-shoulder bodice made in luxurious fabrics (i.e. silks such as taffeta or satin) and elegantly trimmed. I would recommend that if you can’t do much trim that you focus your budget on good fabric. Best of luck and have fun!

I have learned a lot. We have a Civil War Gala in our area. I am at the beginning stages of trying to figure out what to make and wear for it. It is requested that what your wear is formal. Never had a need for this era, but now that I have a reason ….why not! Any suggestions you have are much appreciated

Thanks,
