Dress description: Inspired by Renaissance fashion, this long, form-fitted gown is made from a black velvet and is accented with silver-colored trim on the arms and waist and ruby red satin lining on the arm tippets. There is also a red 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 3X (other sizes available in my eBay store). Please see the different size measurements below to choose your appropriate size.

*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.

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.
