I have two authentically made dresses I'm ready to part with. Neither dress has ever been worn, so they are in brand-new condition. Both dresses were made by me and all fabrics have been pre-washed.
The first garment is a gathered bodice work or day dress made from pretty 100% cotton purple and cream reproduction print fabric. The bodice is lined with a 100% cotton fitted underbodice. The bodice is gathered into a fitted waistband and features full gigot style sleeves that are piped at the armsceyes with very fine self-fabric piping. The skirt, which has a circumference of 120 inches, is hand-hemmed, hand-gauged, and hand-attached to the waistband with a left front opening. The bodice fastens down the front with hooks and eyes. In addition, the wrist openings fasten with hooks and eyes.
Finished garment measurements are as follows:
Waist-25 inches
Bust-40 inches
Back bodice length-15 inches
Skirt length-44 inches
I’m asking $125 for this dress
The second garment is a charming summer semi-sheer dress. This dress is made from one-of-a-kind semi-sheer 100% cotton fabric woven by Family Heirloom Weavers. The fabric is light blue with a tiny cream and pink checked pattern. The dress features a fitted underbodice with short sleeves made from 100% kona cotton. The underbodice is half-high for maximum coolness and comfort. The underbodice neckline and sleeves are tastefully decorated with 100% cotton trim and the underbodice neckline features a ribbon drawstring so that it may be adjusted to fit the wearer’s shoulders. The outer bodice is shirred into a fitted waistband and is gathered at the shoulders for a soft, full look. The shaped sleeves are very full at the elbow and are gathered at the shoulders and cuffs. The armscyes are piped with very fine self-fabric piping, and the bodice front opening, neckline, and sleeve cuffs are trimmed with self-fabric ruching. The bodice neckline and sleeve cuffs are also trimmed with the same 100% cotton trim that adorns the underbodice. (This trim could be easily removed if the buyer doesn’t like it, it’s simply whip-stitched into place). The bodice fastens at the waist and neck with hooks and eyes. The skirt, which measures 160 inches around, is hand-gauged, hand-hemmed, and hand-attached to the bodice with a left-front opening.
Finished garment measurements are as follows:
Waist-25 inches
Bust-40 inches
Back bodice length-15 inches
Skirt length-43 inches
I’m asking $175 for this dress
If you'd like pictures or more detailed information, let me know and I'll send you an email.
Thanks for looking.
