This full courtly black gown is crafted from a richly woven brocade fabric on the front and sleeves, echoing the luxurious materials favored by nobility in past centuries. The slashed half sleeves reveal glimpses of the fabric beneath,a style commonly seen in Renaissance and early Baroque dress,while silver trim edges the openings, catching the light much like the embroidery that adorned garments worn at royal courts. The gown fastens with a lace-up back, allowing the wearer to achieve a close, tailored fit. Historically, gowns like this would be worn over a farthingale, a stiffened hoop skirt that shaped the silhouette into the era’s characteristic wide hips and narrow waist. This gown is made from cotton velvet and polyester, blending the appearance of historic textiles with modern durability. To maintain the fabric’s texture and the shine of the trim, dry cleaning is recommended.
