DRESS DESCRIPTION: Inspired by late 14th-century fashion, this long, full gown is made from a rich, burgundy or wine-colored velvet and is accented with silver-colored trim & back lacing, and dusky rose satin lining on the arm tippets (this satin may look a bit more like straight pink in the photos, but it is indeed a dusky rose color). The back of the gown laces up (I will include a matching silver cord), and the sleeves feature satin-lined tippets hanging down from the upper arm and a more fitted lower arm. This gives the look of wearing both an over- and under-dress. The dress is fitted down to the waist and then flares out from the hips in a voluminous skirt that drapes beautifully. The velvet of the dress is a regular, smooth velvet (it is NOT crushed or panne velvet).
SIZING:
Need
to figure out the right size for you? Use the measurements below to
decide:
*This gown is somewhat flexible in terms of sizing: it is
very acceptable to wear a medieval-style belt with it (hanging down
from the hips in a V shape). Also, there is a slight give to the velvet
it is made from, so it can stretch between sizes if need be. The
following measurements are the approximate unstretched measurements of
the garment. Your own measurements for chest, waist, and hips may be
smaller or a little larger, and the gown will still fit you depending on
how you want it to look (tightly fitted or not):

Please measure
yourself carefully!
Still trying to decide on your size? If you
are trying to decide between two sizes, I recommend trying the next
smaller size down from what you might ordinarily wear. Why? There is a
bit of give in the velvet, and the dresses tend to run slightly larger
than an off-the-rack dress of the same size. If you have questions about
which size is right for you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
