Romantic era day dress in wool

Romantic era day gown,  1827-38

 A rare opportunity to aquire this gown made for the newest book!

 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. 

 This dress was made for our model and was worn a few times, there may be some slight signs of dust on the hem - the price has been reduced to reflect that
