Be your own Bridgerton character in a perfectly tailored, high-quality, historically accurate Regency era ball gown. Whether you are an attendee at an event, an actress in theatre, or an avid admirer of the Netflix show Bridgerton, this dress will make you feel like the diamond of the season.
This round neck ball gown is based on original dresses from mid Regency fashions, as well as the dresses seen on the show. Pair this gown with accessories and add-ons, such as a sheer overlay, to make you feel like the belle of the ball.

ALL THE DETAILS
This gown is made-to-order: choose the size that you currently wear in contemporary sizing. Within 48 hours of receiving your order, I will send you a measurement worksheet listing the measurements required for a perfect fit.
The ball gown includes:
- a rounded neckline, with a scoop neck in front
- a fitted, darted bodice
- a fully lined bodice
- a back closure of buttons
- short, puffed sleeves with narrow cuffs
- a skirt that is gathered in back center, but fitted on the sides and front
PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for a gown with no trimmings. If you would like a sheer overlay for your gown, please put this add-on in your cart when checking out. If you would like the chemisette/cravat that Eloise is wearing, please put the "Lizzy" chemisette in your cart and add a note in the checkout box that you would like a cravat with it (no additional charge!) If you have any other specific details in mind or would like a specific character dress replicated, please fill out the "Custom Orders" inquiry form.
To achieve the correct historical silhouette, this gown is pictured over a shift, stays, and petticoat, but no shift, stays, or petticoat are included with this listing. This gown is made to fit over stays and will not fit correctly over modern undergarments. However, if you would like your commissioned dress to fit over modern undergarments, please mention that in the notes box at checkout, and I will be happy to oblige!
Measure your bust and waist and choose your size based on the pictured sizing guidelines. For the most accurate fit, please take the measurements while wearing your stays and other undergarments (i.e. chemise, petticoat, etc). The dress will be hemmed to sit about about 2" off the floor based on the measurements you provide.
