Directoire Era Dress with Train 1795-1804 - White Striped Cotton Lawn Gown - Early Regency Historical Costume Drawstring Flap Bodice
This turn-of-the-century historical gown is a reconstruction of an original Directoire and early Regency era (1795–1804) cut, designed for lovers of vintage style and high historical accuracy.
The garment is crafted in a single layer from fine, airy white cotton lawn featuring a delicate textured vertical stripe pattern. The defining design feature of this outfit is the fully authentic adjustable gathered bodice, meticulously recreated from period-accurate patterns. The front of the bodice boasts a deep scooped neckline and a functional split construction: the internal sections first gather under the bust with hidden drawstring casings, after which the outer bodice panels secure firmly with convenient cotton ties, allowing you to adjust the fit perfectly to your figure. The characteristic extremely high waistline, long slim sleeves with subtle gathering at the shoulder, and a flowing skirt with a short train masterfully shape the refined antique silhouette of this transitional period. Please note that the delicate, sheer fabric of the dress requires the use of period-correct historical undergarments.
The petticoat, shown on the mannequin to demonstrate the proper historical volume and silhouette, is not included in the price of the gown. The garment is ideal for historical balls, Regency picnics, theatrical productions, and living history festivals.
