Description: Rare, hard to find XL size! Modeled on Simplicity 8161 is this costume overdress/gown/Polonaise in the 18th century style. Tightly woven cotton in Traditional striped Jacobean botanical on an off white ground. Highly detailed motifs in greens, navy and terra cotta . High quality, vintage fabric. Rendezvous, Outlander, colonial, Ren Faire, Halloween, Beetlejuice, Fairytale…you name it! Wear as is or let your imagination go wild on embellishments. Fully lined bodice, modern undergarments are fine. The 5 piece bodice allows subtle, flattering shaping , including a square neckline, elbow darts and a sleeve ruffle for nice historical details. 6’ of twisted white poly cord laces through 10 buttonholes over a stomacher. 2 concealed buttons help keep the stomacher in place-a real plus for those of us who don’t have a ladies maid to dress us! All exposed edges are fully finished for comfort and durability. Photos show a petticoat and rump pad underneath- they are not included, please see my other listings for availability on those. My poor old small size dress form is having a hard time filling up this statuesque beauty, forgive me a little slumping 🙂. Always happy to combine shipping. Hand wash (bathtubs are great for this!) lay flat or hang to dry. Dry cleaning is fine, too. Warm iron and starch if you’d like it crisp. Actual measurements- Shoulder. 17” 3/4 Sleeve. 16” plus ruffle Bust. Up to 46” Waist. Up to 37” Neck to hem at center back. 58” Skirt width. 94” Because it closes with front lacing, the fit is forgiving and will accommodate nearly any cup size All new materials. I’ve been sewing for theater for 16 years and this is a popular costume with actors for comfort and ease of wear. Please feel free to ask if you have and questions and thanks for looking 🙂
