Black Silk Renaissance Dress DetailsThe outside of the bodice made black silk. Lined in black cotton there are ten bones in the front and four in the back, eliminating the need for a separate corset in order to achieve the correct look for the time period. The bodice is trimmed with gold lace, with the neck line and lower edges piped with black cording. SLEEVES The sleeves are made of a cotton brocade that is a green on green colour. The sleeves are lined in lack cotton and attach to the bodice using small hidden loops and are laced with grosgrain ribbon, giving the wearer of this gown the option of only wearing the great sleeves on hot days. OVERSKIRT The overskirt is made of black silk, and is hand cartridge pleated into the waist band, with a circumference of about 145". It is trimmed in the same gold lace as the bodice. The size is adjustable in the front with hook and eyes. UNDERSKIRT The underskirt is made of black cotton broadcloth to keep it light. The fore-panel is made from the same brocade as the sleeves are. The wasit band closes with hook and eyes. SIZING Waist is fully closed at 34" with a chest measurement of aprox. 40"(You would want to be a couple of inches larger for the full "fluff" effect). The 5 " modesty panel allows for additional room. Waist on the overskirt and underskirt are adjustable in proportion to the bodice size. Please remember to add room for any underpinnings such as a chemise or corset to the measurements. Gown will be shipped unhemmed so that you can have it fit correctly over your own farthingale and bumroll should you be wearing them. Depending on your height you may have enough fabric for a small train in the back. CARE Gown must be dry cleaned and I like to scotch guard mine. (Makes Faire dust easier to shake out) Please feel free to email with any questions you may have. stimpzilla@stimpzillasumptuarylaw.com |
