What is this Tina Leser garment?

This item is just gorgeous, but what exactly is it? The skirt zips, and the bodice buttons. My thinking is that it is a hostess gown, but it is pretty elaborate.

Front - fabric is embroidered.

It back of the skirt has almost a bustle effect. Not quite a train, but a lot of fullness.

Any ideas?

Wow...is that all embroidered?

If it buttoned all the way down, I would say that it would look great
with the skirt opened up and tight aqua slacks worn underneath.

I'm guessing that it is a hostess gown, but not for any soiree that
was serving chips & dip!

Lizzie, I'm wondering if this would be mall shop material?

Tina Lesser was known for incorporating ethnic designs & techniques in to her work, wasn't she? If so this [gown] would certainly be representative of that aspect.

I have no idea of what it is, other than an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Funny, the skirt says ballgown, the bodice says... Little Home on the Prairie?!

There, that was <i>very</i> helpful, wasn't it?! (sorry!)
