Description
When you don this gown, you might imagine yourself walking through an ancient forest or a grand hall of a medieval castle. The fabric is a dense, red cotton velvet,sturdy yet soft to the touch, dyed deeply to catch the light with every movement. The full bell sleeves are cut wide and flowing, a style favored in the late Middle Ages, allowing ease of movement while also signifying status. The skirt falls in generous folds, designed to sweep the ground and emphasize the wearer’s presence.
The front features hand-crafted frogs,these are knotted cord fastenings that were commonly used before buttons became widespread, securing the lace-up closure with both function and flair. The back also laces up, allowing the gown to be adjusted for fit, much like the bodices of medieval noblewomen’s dresses. Such lacing was practical, as garments were often custom-fitted and adjusted over time.
As a note, this gown requires dry cleaning to preserve the integrity of the velvet and the delicate frogs.
Fun fact: In some medieval tales, garments dyed in deep red were believed to symbolize courage and passion, making a Scarlet Fantasy Garb not just a costume, but a garment with a story woven into its very threads.
