Description

A LARP ‘pirate’ style gown, open up the front, with laced bodice.

It has a VERY FULL lace trimmed chemise under-dress that can be worn alone with a waist cincher.

Material Notes

The gown is very solidly sewn together, with taped seams and stitched eyelets. The lace at neck and sleeves on the under gown is a vintage lace. The gown fabric is a polycotton drill, lined with mecerized cotton poplin. The undergown is a soft self-stripe woven in a light weight natural loomstate cotton sateen.

      Thank you!

      (Giggle… I HOPE it’s well made! I’ve been playing this sewing game for 50 years, and the last 16 of them as a professional! Still love having lots of new stuff to learn, though… :D )

    Gorgeous gown in a very lovely colour (I think I am slowly changes my preferences from blues to purples/lavanders/lilacs/etc.)! You’re a pro and it shows (if anyone needed any proof of that!)! And I love the vintage lace on the chemise!

      I’ve always been a purple freak. Glad you like it.

      The lace was just serendipity.

      Well, purple never was on the “back of my mind” either, but the blues were the first. Now it seems they are changing places. ;-)

    Thank you. It was actually quite a fast project: probably a total of 15-20 hours of pattern making, cutting, and sewing.
