| 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.
