Tudor gown in silk brocade size 10 -12

 Spectacular  Tudor gown in rare  silk brocade- suitable for the portrayal of upper class, nobility  and royalty,  in the period of circa 1525-50. Perfect for  the court of Henry VIII!

 Features:

* made in quality silk brocade, very rare, and retailing at £35 per metre - 6 metres went into the gown. Silk from Sudbury silk mills.

 *lined with pale gold silk taffeta

* French sleeves with fur turn back cuff. cn be turned back and inned to the upper sleeves or worn with a shallower turn back

* decorative undersleeves in  high quality silk brocade, with linen pulling outs and decorated with ouches included.

 *The gown faces in front over a placket - handstitched eyelets. The placket  would then be pinned over the lacing - once the wearer decides on how tighty she wants to lace the gown, the placket position can be establised and one side can be stitched onto the gown to limit the pinning chore! :-)

 *Voluminous skirts with a train, pleated at the sides, with big cartridge pleats at the back.

 *silk girdle included

  The bodice closes at waist 28 and chest 34 - but the lacing allows for a regulation of the size - I am size 12-and I wore it with a 2 inch gap in front, though it was a bit snug at the back and over the shoulders
