*NOTE: Please message me for any specific fitting inquiries; this garment is sold as-is and is non-refundable. It does NOT include the hat, stays/corset, or panniers (hoop/pockets). This fastens via straight pins through the gown and stomacher, into the stays (heavily boned corset). Do not purchase if you are uncomfortable with pins (unless you want to purchase the alterations option; velcro or snaps/hooks can be added). This costume requires panniers and stays to look like the intended design.
Listed here is a gently used (worn once for a photoshoot for this listing and once for an event) 18th century-inspired women's formal dress, made of a mix of fabric types (silk taffeta, velvet, lace). The garment has been washed and lightly ironed.
The dress assembles in 4 main layers. The first layer is the chemise (black chiffon with light black/gray lace sleeves), then the underskirt (red silk and the front is a medium woven fabric), over that the stomacher attaches via pins to the stays (stays not included), and then the robe/jacket goes on over all layers and pins to the front (through the stomacher, into the stays).
When corseted, the gown best fits:
- 30 inch waist (but an accommodate 29-32 inches)
- 36 inch bust (but can accommodate 34-38 inches)
- 14.5 inch max shoulder width (measuring from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, across)
- 12 inch max bicep circumference
The length (as photographed) was made for someone who is about 5 feet 5 inches tall wearing 1.5-inch heels. It would best fit someone who is about 5'7" total (including shoes), but would still look appropriate on someone up to 5'10". The trims and details are attached via hand-sewing.
The garment must be hand washed and hang-dried; it cannot be dry cleaned. For any ironing needs, it is recommended to test at very low levels and work up, or most recommended to use a steamer.
Pieces included: (everything photographed except NO PANNIERS, STAYS, HAT, or JEWELRY INCLUDED)
- Black chiffon chemise
- Red underskirt
- Red silk and black velvet robe/jacket
- Stomacher (stiffened with sinamay)
- Black Dress pins (if not purchasing alterations)
ALTERATION OPTIONS (add on $50/$100):
- Minor = shorten/lengthen hemline (can accommodate up to 3 inches)
- Adjust bodice = take in/out (can accommodate up to 2 inches)
