Based on the picture from the pattern I would say it is supposed to be a Civil War Era ball gown but mine didnt completely look like it.
maroon pinstriped material, white and gold lace for the hem and sleeves, gold ribbon for the trim

Looks a little more Rennaisance to me, but that might just be the gold-and-purple combo. Looks great though!
