The\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eright side covers almost three quarters of the front of the bodice and has a single\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edart for each bust point. The left side only partially covers this side of the body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand contains no darts. The sleeves are long and narrow and end in three rows of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecording inside the 2 3\/8” sleeve cuff. The right and left front skirts are also asymmetrical;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebut the side gores are equal in size. There is one single center back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape and length of the skirt is fairly typical of the early 19th century. The\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuffle is made from a sheer light weight fabric which starts at the neck, goes down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecenter front and around the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFIT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe very high period waist is higher than what a woman in the 21st century would\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewear and cannot be easily achieved without some form of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecorsetry. This dress would have been worn over a chemise,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecorset, and with at least one petticoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFABRICS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDress: The original fabric is a white, lightweight dimity or\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecorded cotton with a soft drape. The pattern works well in various\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eweights of cotton. The usual color is white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuffle: sheer white cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCHOOSING SIZE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen deciding which size is correct for you to use, measure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eyour rib cage under your bust, preferably with your corset and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eunderpinnings on. This is the single most important measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the cross-over front is asymmetrical and tied with\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea sash, it can accommodate a variety of bosoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original dress is in the collection of Locust Grove Museum in Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fig Leaf","offers":[{"title":"8-18","offer_id":44185568903228,"sku":"FL245-0818","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18R-28R","offer_id":44185568935996,"sku":"FL245-1828","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/4442\/2972\/files\/245-cover_orig__84505.1629913792.800.800.png?v=1775821407","url":"https:\/\/amazon-dry-goods.myshopify.com\/products\/products-morning-dress-c-1800-1820-html","provider":"Amazon Dry Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
