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.
