Authentic Directoire Period Gown — Late 18th Century Historical Cotton Dress — White Cotton Lawn Dress with Train and Front Lacing
Graceful Directoire style dress recreates a romantic historical silhouette from the turn of the 19th century. The model is crafted from the finest, weightless 100% cotton lawn in a classic white color.
The hem of the dress seamlessly transitions into a small, flowing train that lends special grace to the walk, while the back of the skirt is pleated into deep folds canonical for the period. Voluminous puff sleeves with neat cuffs and soft gathering at the bust emphasize the airiness and lightness of the look, which remained highly popular well into the subsequent Regency era.
The main feature of this model is the authentic front closure, crafted according to antique patterns. The dress bodice is secured at the center with neat lacing through hidden loops, allowing for a perfect adjustment of the fit. Additional structure is provided by elegant, thin drawstring ties along the neckline and the high waistline, making the dressing process exceptionally convenient. The front section of the bodice and the skirt are sewn in a single layer, draping beautifully and possessing a delicate semi-transparency; therefore, to create the correct historical shape, it is recommended to wear special Directoire or Regency period undergarments beneath the outfit.
