| Round Gown |
| Our Round Gown is based upon the Round Gowns of the 1560s and 1570s, with a low neckline that curves up to the center front. Each gown is lightly boned in the front with reed boning to maintain its shape. Along the back opening, the gown has two steel bones to provide the necessary support for the lacing edges, without the risk of warping or breaking from high stress. Additionally, each gown 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 with any of the narrow fitting sleeves and over a corset and a farthingale of 115" to 130", dependent upon the wearer's height. The skirts can be made to be worn open, over a Forepart and Underskirt, or completely closed with trim up the center. |
|
| Made of silk dupioni with cotton drill and broadcloth or muslin linings, and a cotton velvet hem. Some reed. All seams are finished. Minimal visible stitching at the hem. Optional open or closed skirts, shoulder rolls or shoulder tabs, waist tabs shape, and skirt pleating. |
