Step back in time with our CHARLOTTE, Overdress in Honey Linen. This 18th-century overdress is a faithful reproduction of one of the most popular costume designs in Western Europe and America around 1770-1785. Meticulously handcrafted, it is made from medium weight, prewashed honey linen (205gr/m), ensuring its durability while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel. The square neckline and metal eyelets on both sides of the front opening ensure a perfect fit, while the pre-shaped elbow sleeves trimmed with a delicate pleated sand lace ribbon add a touch of elegance and authenticity.

Our CHARLOTTE overdress is more than just a costume; it's a piece of wearable history. It boasts a brown cotton lining for the bust and sleeves for added comfort. The synthetic boning on the back and both sides of the front opening provides structure, while the wide train, pleated in the 18th-century style, adds a dramatic finish. Measuring 37.5 inches (95 cm) long, this train makes a statement in any setting, from reenactments and theatre productions to cosplay and themed events.

This overdress is a must-have addition to your historical wardrobe. It's not just a costume, but a testament to the craftsmanship and authenticity that Atelier Serraspina stands for. Due to its handcrafted nature, each overdress may have slight variations, adding to its unique charm. To care for your CHARLOTTE, Overdress in Honey Linen, we recommend a gentle hand wash and line dry to preserve its historical accuracy and beauty. Embrace the past with style and sophistication with our meticulously crafted 18th-century overdress.

Please, kindly note that the white petticoat shown in the photos is NOT INCLUDED.

All About Charlotte

The CHARLOTTE overdress features a fitted bodice to which is attached a wide pleated open skirt, pleated in the 18th-century manner. This 18th-century costume has a very generous volume of fabric.

You can match the Charlotte overdress with any linen or tartan skirt from the store.


The fitted linen bodice is full lined with cotton poplin. Its square neckline closes at the front with a band of eyelets on either side of the opening. A delicate lace ribbon trims the end of the preformed elbow sleeves.

Charlotte is made of prewashed medium-weight linen (205gr/m), in a range of colors matching Atelier Serraspina's color palette. You can therefore combine your Charlotte open dress with petticoats, linen or tartan shawls, as well as with sashes from the entire boutique.

Outer fabric: 100% prewashed linenLining: 100% organic cotton

Turn inside out before washing. Use cold hand wash only. Do not bleach, soak, rub, or tumble dry.

The Charlotte overdress is to be put on as follows: just slip your arms through the sleeves of the dress mantua that you'll tie at the front, passing a cord through the eyelets on either side of the opening.

In the presentation photos, the dress is worn over a bum pad which adds volume to the hips and emphases the thinness of the waist.
