 Popular style with the Scottish court. The overdress and matching overskirt are made of either velvet, jacquard, satin or velveteen. It laces up the back allowing for several sizes. The bodice is fully lined with a soft and matching silk essence. We use industrial grommets so they will not tear.

The gown also has wonderful matching fully lined sleeves with the upper half slightly fitted and then just above the elbow flares into a bell with cuffs. The cuffs may be made of the underskirt brocade or faux fur in white, black, or animal print. The sleeves are attached to the bodice for your convenience but area available as lace-on for an additional fee.

The underskirt is made of three to four panels, depending upon size, using two fabrics.  The front panel that shows is a wonderful fancy jacquard.  Some ladies prefer damasks, brocade or tapestry.  The back panels that do not show on the underskirt are made of cotton or satin so that you don't get over heated in the gown. Royalty or high nobility ladies would have the front panel trimmed in semi precious jewels or beads.   Another variation for the underskirt is to have a "kicker" in which the lower four inches of the skirt are a different color.  The waistband is solid and has a ribbon tie .  It has a lacing grommet closure for a more authentic look.
