Be your favorite gothic literary heroine in this perfectly tailored, high-quality, historically accurate mid-Victorian day dress. This dress is perfect for attending an event, reenacting history, acting in theatre, or for admirers of Victorian mourning rituals and gothic literature. It is probably what Jo March wore when mourning Beth's death.

ALL THE DETAILS

This mourning dress is a women's size 6 (small) and is ideal for heights of about 5'2" to 5'4".  It includes a bodice and skirt, as well as a white collar (which is basted in) and a dust ruffle that buttons into the hem.

This dress is made in the Meg's Afternoon Gown design out of a black 100% silk crepe and includes:

  • a "V" shape bodice, which visually broadens the shoulders and narrows the waist
  • a button front closure
  • fully lined and fitted, boned bodice
  • black velvet trim on the bodice and sleeves (a $75 add-on)
  • matching piping on the bodice (a $75 add-on)
  • a white (100% cotton voile) collar trimmed with cotton lace (a $25 add-on)
  • long, fitted sleeves trimmed ending in a cuff that closes with hook and eye
  • a fully pleated skirt with a width of about 170" and made to fit an elliptical hoop (a $100 add-on)
  • hem facing
  • a ruffle around the bottom half of the skirt (a $150 add-on)
  • a dust ruffle (50/50 cotton/poly broadcloth) that buttons into the hem (a $125 add-on)

The dress measurements are as follows:

  • Bust: 36"
  • Waist: 28.5"
  • Back neck to hem length: 52" (plus a 6" train on the back)

If you would like additional measurements, please contact us and we will be happy to provide them! 

To achieve the correct historical silhouette, the dress is pictured over a corset, petticoat, and elliptical hoop, but no corset, petticoats, or hoops are included with this listing.

**PLEASE NOTE: All samples are boned with heavy duty zip ties, rather than synthetic whalebone, to help keep costs low.  I find these are just as quality as synthetic whalebone and bone all of my personal historical garments with heavy duty zip ties, but I wanted to disclose this information before you purchase the garment.

----------------------------------------------------

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

Please measure yourself while wearing the corset and other undergarments you plan to wear with the ensemble.  Remember that measurements such as your bust and waist should be smaller than the dress measurements by an inch or more, to allow for ease of movement.

Refer to the measurement graphic in the listing and the video tutorial if you need assistance in understanding and taking your measurements. If you still have additional questions, please feel free to message me. If you would like it altered to fit your measurements, please message me for alteration pricing, as that will be an additional cost.

Good for maintaining clean beard lines
I keep my beard trimmed, but I always have to clean up the edges along my neckline to keep it looking neat. Lately, I've been massaging a few drops of this natural oil into my neck on Tuesday mornings right after I finish shaving at the sink. It feels really soothing on freshly shaved skin, kind of acting like a light daily moisturizer. The bottle is only 1.85 ounces, but you only need a tiny dab to cover a small area so it should last a while. Over the last month, the stubble along my collar line definitely feels softer, and it takes an extra day or two before it starts looking messy again. If you trim your own facial hair and want to stretch out the time between touching up your neck or cheek lines, this is handy to keep by the mirror.

Gentle Oil for After Hair Removal Care
I started using this Cyperus oil after shaving because my skin often feels dry afterward. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily, so I only need a small amount on areas like legs and underarms. I usually apply it after showering, when my skin is clean and dry, then massage it in for a few minutes. The oil feels soothing and gives my skin a softer, more moisturized feeling without being too greasy. It absorbs better than I expected, especially when I use a thin layer. The scent is mild and does not bother me during daily use. For unwanted hair care, I know it is not something that shows a big change overnight, so I use it consistently after hair removal. It has been easy to add into my routine, and I like that it helps calm and moisturize my skin after shaving or waxing.

Absorbs into the skin well and no irritation so far
I bought this Cyperus Rotundus oil to try out, and the 1.85 oz bottle is a good size for me. The oil has a light botanical scent that is pleasant and not too strong. I have applied it a few times and found that it is very easy to use with the included dropper. It absorbs into the skin well and I have noticed no irritation at all, which is important for my daily routine. The bottle arrived quickly and was packaged securely so there were no leaks. It is a practical addition to my shelf, and the glass container feels solid. This product does exactly what it says on the label and provides a straightforward way to use a natural oil. It is a functional and simple purchase that meets my needs perfectly.

Smooth skin without the post-shave itch
I’ve always had issues with my skin feeling super irritated after I shave my legs, so I started applying this Cyperus Rotundus oil right after hopping out of the shower. The quality of the blend is impressive—it’s got jojoba and almond oil too, so it feels very nourishing rather than just sitting on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly enough that I can put on my leggings and head to the gym without feeling like a greaseball. The functionality as a hair inhibitor is a nice bonus. I’ve noticed the hair on my shins seems to be coming back a bit softer and less stubbly than before. For a 55 ml bottle, the value for money is solid since you only need a few drops to cover a large area. It’s a great find for anyone who deals with that annoying sandpaper feeling a day after waxing. My roommate even started using it on her arms because it’s fragrance-free and doesn't mess with her perfume.
