Dress description: Inspired by late 14th-century fashion, this long, full gown is made from a soft, lavender crushed velvet and is accented with silver-colored trim, back lacing, and silver satin lining on the tippets. The back of the gown laces up (I will include a matching silver cord), and features a fold-over flap under the lacing so if the gown separates behind the laces, your back is not exposed. The sleeves feature satin-lined tippets hanging down from the upper arm and a more fitted lower arm. This gives the look of wearing both an over- and under-dress. The dress is fitted down to the waist and then flares out from the hips in a voluminous skirt that drapes beautifully. The velvet of the dress is a crushed velvet. In my eBay store, I also carry this gown in other color combinations as well as a full range of sizes, including S, M, L, XL/1X, 2X, 3X, & 4X.

This listing is for a size XL / 1X (other sizes available in my eBay store). Please see the different size measurements below to choose your appropriate size.

I have shown photos of this dress with a hoop skirt beneath (top right and top center photos) to demonstrate its fullness, as well as without the underskirt (all other photos), so you can see the lovely way the fabric drapes and flows.

Don't forget to accessorize! I also sell a matching lavender velvet cloak lined in silver satin. Please browse my eBay store to purchase one. And remember, I offer discounted shipping if you purchase more than one item!

(The cloak is not included for sale in this eBay auction. It is for demonstration purposes.)

Size: XL / 1X

Is this the right size for you? Use the measurements below to decide:

*This gown is somewhat flexible in terms of sizing: it is very acceptable to wear a medieval-style belt with it (hanging down from the hips in a V shape). Also, there is a slight give to the velvet it is made from, so it can stretch between sizes if need be. The following measurements are the approximate unstretched measurements of the garment. Your own measurements for chest, waist, and hips may be smaller or a little larger, and the gown will still fit you depending on how you want it to look (tightly fitted or not):

SMALL: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 58"; shoulder: 13.5"; arm length: 21";chest: 32"; waist: 30"; hips: flared out from 35"

MED: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 58.5"; shoulder: 15"; arm length: 22";chest: 35"; waist: 34"; hips: flared out from 39"

LARGE: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 59"; shoulder: 16"; arm length: 23"; chest: 38"; waist: 37"; hips: flared out from 41"

XL / 1X: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 60"; shoulder: 16.5"; arm length: 23.5"; chest: 41";
waist: 39"; hips: flared out from 44"

2X: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 60"; shoulder: 18"; arm length: 23.5"; chest: 44"; waist: 42"; hips: flared out from 49"

3X: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 61"; shoulder: 18.5"; arm length: 24"; chest: 47"; waist: 45"; hips: flared out from 53"

4X: Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 62"; shoulder: 19.5"; arm length: 24"; chest: 51"; waist: 50"; hips: flared out from 59" 

For international buyers: 1" is equal to 2.54 cm.

Please measure yourself carefully! This listing is for a size XL / 1X, but I have other sizes and colors in my eBay store (www.ArtemisiaDance.com).
Still trying to decide on your size? If you are trying to decide between two sizes, I recommend trying the next smaller size down from what you might ordinarily wear. Why? There is a bit of give in the velvet, and the dresses tend to run slightly larger than an off-the-rack dress of the same size. If you have questions about which size is right for you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
