This enchanting ensemble is suitable for Merchant Class or Saucy Wench. And because the bodice is reversible, it's like getting two for the price of one!

The Bodice
The first side is made with a gorgeous, high-quality tapestry fabric in cream, pale pink and pale sage.
It reverses to an elegant peachy pink jacquard.
This bodice will go with many different colors of skirts and chemises.
Cream cording laces up the front through 14 silver grommets and at the shoulders through 4 grommets for easy torso adjustment. The cording ends are crimped with aiglets for ease of threading and a nice, finished look.
It has heavy interfacing, 1/4" spring steel boning (plastic coated with rounded ends) in the front sections and poly boning in the side seams for comfort, support and superb durability.
This VERY sturdy bodice is designed to achieve the period-correct conical figure by pressing the chest and stomach flat and squeezing the bosom up above the neckline.
(Unfortunately, my dress form can't "squish", but hopefully you get the idea!).

The Skirt
is made with four full yards of celery green 100% cotton in a cool, comfortable weight (not cheap broadcloth or even worse, poly cotton fabric which has a distinct synthetic sheen in the sunlight).
The skirt will be a great addition to your garb collection.
It has a drawstring waist for the perfect fit. (I prefer drawstring to elastic in the skirts of my own costumes since they can be worn very tightly under a gown or bodice without riding down.)
Circumference is 144". Hemmed to desired length up to 43".
(Shown with a hoop slip which is not included.)







Measurement Information I'll need:
1. Measure bust at fullest (do not go by bra size)
2. Measure waist at smallest
3. For torso length measure at the very top of your shoulder where the front and back straps will meet, then go directly down your back to your waist without angling over to your center waist. If you need a diagram, I can email you one.
4. For skirt length, measure from waist to wherever you'd like the hem to hit keeping in mind the shoes you'll be wearing and added fullness from a hoop slip or crinoline.

Snugness Preference:
SP #1: For maximum push-up and cinching, the bodice should be about 2-3 inches smaller in the bust and an inch or so smaller in the waist than your actual measurements. This is a VERY snug fit and not recommended if you're really into comfort or for "A" cup girlies.
SP #2: For a reasonably comfortable fit but still a bit of enhancement, the bodice should be about an inch smaller in the bust and the waist about the same as your actual measurement.
SP #3: For total comfort, the bodice bust should be about the same as your bust measurement and the bodice waist should be about an inch large to allow for bulkiness from the skirt.
