A Burgundian Gown made to measure!

  A burgundian gown made to measure!

 Our popular gown, the pinnacle of the late Medieval fashion, can now, for a brief time, be made to your measurements, in the fabrics listed above (other colours can also be considered, please ask for photos - these will be subject to the availibility in the silk mills).

 Features:

* Made in stunning brocades and damasks from the silk mills - these were purchased at the sale at bargain prices - roughly  £60-80 per metre, usually they cost much, much more - especially the blue/gold metallic brocade which retails about £250 per metre...) Pattern repeat 7"

* lining either  plain linen or plain silk  - whatever colour is available at the workshop. if a specific colour is required, it can be arranged but it will incur additional costs (roughly  10-20 per metre for the linen and 30-80 per silk)

* the cuffs,  turn out collar and the hem in  fitting sillk ( you will be given a couple of options to choose from - if you like then great, if not,more sillk can be purchased - this will incur furhter costs).

 * I have enough fabrics for one gown  in each colour only, with a modest train. Please let me know if you would like a gown without a train

 The fit - please provide your measurements in the comments section, or email.

I will need the following:

1. front length, from the shoulder, following closely over the bust, the the floor (or just above - to the desired length)

2. chest circumference over kirtle you plan to wear with it

3. back width, across the shoulder blades

4. sleeves length, from the top shoulder, over slightly bent elbow, to your wrist

5. biceps circumference

6. wrist circumference

7. hip circumference

Please note that due to the nature of the remotely given measurements, the exact fit may not me accommplished. The gown's voluminous nature is pretty forgiving and we will do our best to  ensure the fit is right, but no returns will be accepted on that basis. As of today, in over 30 years ofmaking thses, including remotely, we haven't had a single issue. but you never know...

To put your mind at ease though, we offer remote fitting  service- I will make a  mock up in calico and send it over and we will agree on a suitale time for a video call to discuss the fit and address any issues. then the mock up is sent back to me and i make the gown  to its exacts specifications. please choose which optio you woudl like.

 Timing;

Please allow 2-4 weeks from the submission of ther measurements for making up the gown. If you decide on a remote fitting  and want different linings etc than avaibale  in the shop, this may cause a further delay.
