Charles the 1st's Reign

This is a lovely reproduction quality gown, it consists of a boned
bodice top an overskirt and petticoats. It is based on the sort of
dresses worn at the time of Charles the 1st's reign and is most likely
in the style of gowns in the date range of 1630ish-1649, with the
typical lace decoration and falling type collar and fairly high waisted
band to tie at the front in a rosette. This gown is made entirely from
silk dupion, decorated with cotton lace, there are two petticoats made
from lining fabric, and one from a cotton callico, which gives the
authentic full skirted apearance. there are 8 pelum atatched to the
bottom of the boned bodice each decorated with lace. Above the lace
cuff there is a tie made from the same fabric as the dress so that the
sleeve may be pulled in to fit the wearers arm this in turn opens up
the slash sleeve exposing the cream silk dupion under sleeve (same
fabric as the waist sash). The lace at the back is also of the same
fabric as the dress to ensure continuity, the eyelets are of
black metal.
