We regret the mulberry taffeta shown in this gown is no longer available. Please view our new selections of taffeta, satin and jacquards below |
The reign of Louis XIV King of
France and French Renaissance was a rich and elaborate time period.
Ladies and gentlemen clothing was richly ornate with frills and satin bows.
Everyone in the aristocrat circle wore powdered wigs, and lots of lace.
The gowns were worn with a full corset so there was no boning in the actual
gowns, hoop skirts known as a panniers were worn ( an elliptical hoopskirt which
actually went side to side rather than round like the Elizabethan and modern
styles) My version of this allows for modern hoopskirt or traditional
pocket hoops or pannier. Solid Taffeta $199 & up
