Eloise's Espionage Ensemble (1800-1815)

Live out your Bridgerton dreams in this high-quality, historically accurate Regency era ensemble. Whether you are an attendee at an event, a historical reenactor, an actress in theatre, or an avid admirer of Eloise Bridgerton, this dress will make you feel ready to solve the mystery of Lady Whistledown for Her Majesty.

This three-piece ensemble is based on the outfit worn by Eloise in the last episode of Season Two.  Although it is inspired by the show, the patterning is based on extant clothing from the Regency period.

When you purchase a made-to-order item, you get the ensemble of your dreams by choosing the fabric from the drop-down options, providing measurements for a custom fit, and even purchasing extra available add-ons!

As a custom piece, this item is professionally handmade at my Texas (USA) studio and order fulfillment takes 10-12 weeks. Please see the website header for a current estimate on the month your order will be shipped to you. Shipping within the U.S. is FREE for all orders over $50.

ALL THE DETAILS

This ensemble 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 chemisette includes:

• a chiffon or lace fabric
  
• a high round neckline with a ruffle (a narrow ribbon is included to tie on top)
  
• short, puffed sleeves
  
• a back closure of hook/bar and tape ties

The petticoat includes:

• the fabric you choose
• two cotton twill tape drawstrings - one in top front bodice and one in the underbust band
• a back closure of buttons and the underbust drawstring
• a fitted front skirt
• a back skirt with multiple pleats on each side

The sleeveless spencer includes: 

• the fabric you choose
• a full lining in a neutral color
• a double-breasted front button closure with lapels
• a high collar

To achieve the correct historical silhouette, this ensemble is pictured over a shift, stays, and petticoat, but no shift, stays, or petticoat are included with this listing. This ensemble 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.
