Dress description: Inspired
by Renaissance fashion, this long, form-fitted gown is made from a royal
blue velvet and is accented with gold-colored trim on
the arms and waist and gold satin lining on the arm tippets. There
is also a gold satin panel inset in the front of the velvet skirt.
The sleeves feature satin-lined tippets hanging down from the upper arm
and a more fitted lower arm. The
sleeves and skirt give the look of wearing both an over- and under-dress.
The dress is fitted at the waist and bodice and then flares out from the
hips in a skirt that drapes beautifully. The back of the gown closes with
a zipper. 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, and 3X.
[*The photos above show this dress with a slender hoop skirt worn beneath
it to demonstrate the shape and fullness.*]
This listing is for
a size 2X(other sizes available
in my eBay store). Please see the different size measurements below
to choose your appropriate size.

I also sell a matching blue velvet cloak lined in black satin (your
choice of 62" or 50" long). Please browse my eBay store
to purchase one. And remember, I offer discounted shipping if you purchase
more than one item!

in this eBay auction. It is for demonstration purposes.)

*Still trying to decide
on your size? Here
is a helpful hint on fitting yourself for this gown:
most of the measurements here are somewhat flexible because the velvet
in the dress has a slight give to it and can stretch to accommodate a few
inches here or there. But the WAIST measurement does NOT stretch because
there is a non-stretchy ribbon trim around the waistline (see the above
pictures). So if you have to pick one measurement to stick with, it is the
waist measurement.If you
have questions about which size is right for you, please don't hesitate
to contact me.

*A Note Regarding Customs Fees for International Buyers:
every country has different laws and tax rates regarding whether
or not the government will charge you customs duties when you import
goods into your country. These are not additional fees that I am
charging you; these are import taxes that your own government
is charging you, and unfortunately, I am not able to control that.
Please contact you country's customs office to learn more about
whether you will have to pay these customs duties on your purchase.
