ALL THE DETAILS
This gown is made-to-order: choose the size that you currently wear in contemporary sizing. Within 3-5 business days of receiving your order, I will send you a measurement worksheet listing the measurements required for a perfect fit.
The evening gown includes:
- 100% cotton white fabric
- a rounded neckline with a drawstring in bodice front
- underbust gathers
- a back closure of buttons
- short, puffed sleeves with narrow cuffs and a button closure
- a skirt that is gathered in back center, but fitted on the sides and front
- a tuck running around the hemline
PLEASE NOTE: Dress does NOT include the pictured ribbon sashes. Add the Regency Sash Add-on to your cart when you order to get a sash for your dress!
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 send a message, 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. shift, petticoat, etc). The dress will be hemmed to sit about about 2" off the floor based on the measurements you provide.
