This isn't just a dress... It's a scrumptious, sugary confection!

Guaranteed to make jaws drop and mouths water. Which if done simultaneously, can get a bit messy, but cleaning up the puddles of drool is not your problem! ( Just don't let the dress drag through them. Yuk.)

Perfect for Renaissance Weddings, elegant Masquerade Balls or making a spectacular entrance at the gates of the Faire...

(The quality of my fabrics and trims are one of the things that sets me apart from many other garb clothiers. Even though this dress is listed as a 'costume', the fabrics, trim and workmanship are far superior to 'costume'-quality garments... believe me, there is a difference!)

The Bodice
is made of a lovely mint blue damask fabric. The attached shoulder caps are made from the same fabric and are accented with cream and champagne jacquard ribbon. This back-lacing 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!).

Rich cording laces up the back through 16 silver grommets. A matching modesty panel is also included to allow for multiple sizes and also so the cording can be loosened without the chemise showing between the grommets. The cording ends are crimped with aiglets for easy threading and a finished appearance. This sturdy Bodice has three pieces of 1/2" carbon steel boning (plastic coated with rounded ends) in the front section, poly boning in the back seams to reinforce the grommets, heavy interfacing for structure and support and is lined with heavy weight tapestry fabric.

YOUR bust and waist measurements should be at least the same as the Bodice and can be up to3 inches LARGER. The tighter it's laced, the more "push up and together" effect you'll get.

(Unfortunately, my dress form can't "squish", but hopefully you get the idea!).

The OverSkirt
is made with the same mint blue damask fabric as the bodice and is embellished with jacquard trim and cream & blue tapestry fabric with a woven diamond design along the opening of the split front. It has a drawstring waist for the perfect fit . (I prefer a drawstring waist in the skirts of my own costumes since they can be tied very tightly and won't ride down below my bodice.)
Skirt circumference closed is approx. 130" . Hemmed to desired length.
(Shown with a hoop slip and bum roll which are not included.)

The Underskirt
Is made with a front panel of dark champagne fabric which has a woven diamond design and a nice sheen. The remainder is made with lightweight, comfortable muslin. Circumference is approx. 130". Hemmed to desired length.

The Detachable Sleeves
Are made with the same cream diamond tapestry fabric as in the opening of the split overskirt. They attach to the bodice with discretely placed hook and eyes. These sleeves are meant to fit fairly snugly. There is a slight "split" at the wrist underside seam so they will slide over your hands but will still fit snugly. The dress also looks lovely without the sleeves.

The Bodice Jewels
Are made with a combination of Swarovsky crystals, hand-chained Swarovsky glass pearls and teardrop pearls, acrylic cabochons and silver-toned filigree settings. They attach to the bodice with tie-tac type pinning devices.

The Chemise is not included but is available for purchase.
