Beautiful and unique, Christine wears this to the Masquerade Ball on New Years Eve. She attends with Raoul, wearing her engagement ring on a necklace. Likewise, the Phantom returns on this night to present his opera "Don Juan Triumphant."
Dress Breakdown
Bodice
The bodice is very similar to the "Think of Me" bodice. The main difference in shape, is the pointed edge at the bottom. It is more pointed, and less rounded from the waist. There look to be three seams in the front, as well as one on each side. My guess is that there are two side back seams also. This Picture Here is a not so bad shot of the back of the bodice. There is no lacing, so it probably closes with hooks and eyes or a zipper.
The top of the bodice is lined with two layers of a very fine (crocheted or knitted?) lace. There are nine little pinkish roses along to top edge. The sleeves are made of a gathered fabric, guessed to be organza or tulle, similar to the "Think of Me" gown. Swarovski crystals are scattered across the lace and sleeves. As a finishing touch, (seems a little out of place, though) There is a fake pink plastic rose attached to the bottom right seam of the bodice.
The Shoes
These shoes are almost like pink pumps with gold on the inside edge and the strap. The closure is still unsure of. I'm guessing it's some sort of button snap?

Ebay Auction: The second of each photo has been "photofixed" just so you know. Some images come out better/ligther when I do that, so I figured, why not post it.
