A young lady in the early to mid-18th century would wear a costume consisting of a petticoat, gown and a hat or head covering. Created for our exclusive Georgian Wooden artist dolls “Belinda Noble” and “Dido Washington,” this gown of lightweight Indian print cotton in hues of violet and aubergine, features a fitted bodice, peplum waist and open front trimmed in pinked ruffles. The fitted 3/4 length sleeves are trimmed in a single layer of pinked ruffles. The petticoat and stomacher are made of cream linen with an allover soutache design. This ensemble includes a Colonial era wardrobe essential in the form of a flannel cloak, in rich cardinal red. The cloak features a generously gathered wired hood with face framing ruffles, a cranberry red embossed velvet ribbon tie at the chin, and a red cotton lining.
Two pieces of headwear are included in the kit: a cotton mob cap trimmed in crocheted lace and cranberry red velvet ribbon, plus a low crowned brimmed hat covered in a delicately patterned violet and aubergine cotton - trimmed in aubergine ribbon.

For your sewing pleasure, we have created a complete kit which includes everything needed to create the ensemble: a paper pattern, full instructions with helpful tips and historic details, and expertly curated materials.

Pre-order price: $195.00
