| Pleated Surcoat |
| This over-gown is based upon several gowns examined by Janet Arnold in Patterns of Fashion and several portraits of the late Sixteenth century. This gown has a yoke in the back with back of the gown knife-pleated into it. Each gown is front fastening with hooks and bars, and has a 3" to 4" hem guard of black cotton velvet to both protect the hem and provide the necessary weight for the silk to hang correctly.
|
|
| This gown is designed to be worn over the Loose Kirtle or a Round Gown with any of the narrow fitted sleeves. It is designed to fit comfortably over a farthingale of 100" to 120", dependent upon the wearer's height. |

|
Made of silk dupioni, lined in cotton broadcloth or muslin, and cotton velvet. All seams are finished. Minimal visible stitching at the hem. Optional Black or Off White, and Gold or Silver trims. Optional shoulder tabs styles or shoulder rolls.
