They say that the Belle gown and the Ball gown are variants of the Scarlett O’Hara style of dressing so why not go the whole hog and just buy a beautiful gown from one of the Reproduction Civil War sites online? There is one huge site like this on ebay called Fiddle Dee Dee and it usually has the most amazing dresses form the Civil War that are in the Belle style.
Many of the dresses on this site could easily double as wedding dresses. If colored organza is your thing then there are many dresses in vivid blues, pinks, reds, aquas and purples on this site that are made from layers of satin and organza.
At Fiddle Dee Dee you can also find the occasional Civil War Dress. The one available when I was on the site had the Belle neckline, organza blossoms draping from a skirt and three quarter sleeves with lace fringes.
