Design Features of your Colonial Costume in Cherry Red Linen
Colonial Jacket:
Introducing the JANET Long-Skirted Jacket, designed to exude effortless style and sophistication. Crafted from high-quality linen with a cotton lining, this jacket offers a perfect blend of comfort and elegance.
Featuring a beautifully curved waist and long, ample basques measuring approximately 25 cm from the waist, the jacket of the colonial costume flatters your figure with its timeless silhouette.
The wide front opening is adorned with hidden metal rings on both sides, adding a touch of intrigue to the design. For added versatility, the jacket of the colonial costume comes with two stomachers in matching colors (chocolate & cherry red), allowing you to personalize your look.
With its mid-length sleeves, the JANET colonial jacket strikes the perfect balance between coverage and freedom of movement.
A 18th Century Skirt to complete your Colonial costume
The skirt of the colonial costume consists of 2 cherry red linen panels, connected at the sides while leaving the upper ends open on each side. This design enables easy wearing of the skirt.
The panels of this historical skirt feature 18th-century-style pleats. At the front, pleats extend towards the sides, while at the back, they converge in the middle. In the photos, the skirt is worn over a bustle pad, which adds volume to the hips and accentuates the waist's slenderness.
