Romantic era day dress

Romantic era day gown with gigot sleeves,  1830-38, based on the iconic gown from V&A museum

 It needs to be worn over a period correct corset ( a corded one  would be best, but a standard, generic victorian one will work as well!) and a combination of a corded and standard petticoats - either can be ordered separately on the site.  Ditto sleeve supports

 Used twice for a photoshoot and once for event - condition excellent.

 There is a slight staining at the back of the skirt - was present on the fabric ( vintage, 1950s?) it might cam off in a wash - see the pictures!

 Features:

*made in vintage cotton print - the scrolling florals are perfect for the period!

*bodice lined with cotton 

* bodice closing at the back with a hook and eyelet combination - can be adapted to size

* skirt cartridge pleated tthe bodice

 *separate belt with a period replica buckle - the buckle has been changed to a silver coloured one, see the pictures

 *bodice piped at the neck, waist and cuffs ( double piping at the cuffs), with triangular decorartions on the sleeve edged with cotton lace ( just like the original).

 inside finish by hand.

 *Accessories not included!

 bodice: chest  closes at 39.5" (100cm), waist at 28.5" (72cm),
