While we do try to keep a few gowns in stock, we prefer to custom
fit each order to your specific needs and measurements so that
your gown is truly "one of a kind".
Please call for fabric availability. We will need the following
measurements: neck, bust, waist, nape of neck to waist, waist to
ankle, bicept and arm length from top of shoulder to elbow. All
gown orders require a 50% deposit.

| Ladies Gowns: Polonaise
gown has a fitted bodice which
laces closed over a lightly boned reversible stomacher
(triangular shaped insert) and made with open skirt to
reveal matching or or contrasting petticoats. The
underskirt is a drawstring unless the "ties in front and
back" skirt is requested. Graceful flounces at the elbow
were fashonable during the 1760's - 70's. See Eighteenth
Century Clothing at Williamsburg, by Linda
Baumgarten.
Our Sacque Back gown features
a fitted bodice, elbow length sleeves ending in a small
cuff, an open skirt to reveal a matching or contrasting
petticoat and a full pleated "sacque" that falls
gracefully from the shoulders to the hem. Please call so
we can discuss details.
Note: The Polonaise and Sacque Back gowns
should be worn with stays and pocket hoops
for the correct 18th Century look and fit. We will
be glad to make these items for you also. Please see
"Accessories" for pricing information.
Our Round gown is a
one piece gown with a fitted bodice which laps at center
front and pins closed over the waist of the front skirt
panel. The elbow length sleeve features a small cuff.
This is a very comfortable everyday gown and is also
usually worn with stays.
