Step back in time with our exquisite 18th-Century Ensemble, the CHARLOTTE. This two-piece set, inspired by the popular fashion of Western Europe and America from 1770-1785, is a beautiful blend of historical accuracy and contemporary craftsmanship. Perfect for historical reenactments, theater performances, or simply to satiate your love for vintage fashion, the CHARLOTTE Ensemble in Steel and Night Blue Linen is a timeless piece that will make you feel like royalty.
The ensemble includes a long overdress, open at the front, and an 18th-century skirt. The overdress, crafted from medium-weight steel blue prewashed linen, features a square neckline and pre-shaped elbow sleeves adorned with a delicate pleated lace ribbon in sand color. The white cotton lining of the bust and sleeves adds comfort, while the metal eyelets on both sides of the front opening ensure a perfect fit. Synthetic whalebones are meticulously placed on the back and both sides of the front opening, providing structure and elegance. The overdress is completed with a wide, 37.5-inch pleated train, adding a dramatic flair to the ensemble.
The 18th-century pleated petticoat skirt is made of two night blue prewashed linen panels sewn on the sides, matching the length of the train. The historically accurate pleating and the beautiful volume when worn over a bustle pad (available in our Undergarments section) add to the authenticity and charm of the ensemble. This ensemble is not just a costume; it's a wearable piece of history, meticulously handcrafted to the highest standards of quality and authenticity that Atelier Serraspina stands for.
Care for your CHARLOTTE Ensemble as you would any treasured garment. Gentle hand wash and line dry to maintain its beauty and longevity. Embrace the allure of the past with the CHARLOTTE Ensemble in Steel and Night Blue Linen, a masterpiece that marries historical fashion with modern craftsmanship.
