Dress description: Inspired by late 14th-century fashion, this
long, full gown is made from a vivid, deep red velvet and is
accented with gold-colored trim & back lacing, and gold-colored
satin lining on the arm tippets. The back of the gown laces up (I
will include a matching gold cord), and the sleeves feature satin-lined
tippets hanging down from the upper arm and a more fitted lower arm.
This gives the look of wearing both an over- and under-dress. The dress
is fitted down to the waist and then flares out from the hips in a voluminous
skirt that drapes beautifully. The velvet of the dress is a regular,
smooth velvet (it is NOT crushed or panne velvet). 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/4X.
This listing is for a size LARGE (other sizes available in
my eBay store). Please see the different size measurements below to
choose your appropriate size. Because of the nature of the dress, it
would work for a range of different sizes (US sizes 12, 14).
I have shown photos of this dress with a hoop skirt beneath (top
right photo, top center photo, and bottom left photo) to demonstrate
its fullness, as well as without the underskirt (all other photos),
so you can see the lovely way the fabric drapes and flows.

Size: LARGE
Is this the right size for you? Use the measurements
below to decide:
*This gown is somewhat flexible in terms of
sizing: it is very acceptable to wear
a medieval-style belt with it (hanging down from the hips in a V shape).
Also, there is a slight give to the velvet it is made from, so it can
stretch between sizes if need be. The following measurements are the
approximate unstretched measurements of the garment. Your own measurements
for chest, waist, and hips may be smaller or a little larger, and the
gown will still fit you depending on how you want it to look (tightly
fitted or not):
SMALL:
Gown length (shoulder to bottom hem): 59"; shoulder: 14.75";
arm length: 23";chest: 37"; waist: 34"; hips: flared
out from 39"
MED: Gown length (shoulder to bottom
hem): 59.5"; shoulder: 15.75"; arm length: 23"; chest:

Please measure yourself carefully! This listing is for a size
LARGE, but I have other sizes and colors in my eBay store (www.ArtemisiaDance.com).
Still trying to decide on your size? If you are trying to decide
between two sizes, I recommend trying the next smaller size down from
what you might ordinarily wear. Why? There is a bit of give in the velvet,
and the dresses tend to run slightly larger than an off-the-rack dress
of the same size. If you have questions about which size is right for
you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
