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.

Mourning dresses were made in all black with minimal trimmings. This dress is based on extant mourning dresses that can be found here.

As a modeling sample, this mourning dress was worn for photography.  It is the only mourning dress in this size, fabric, and design and is available at a reduced price.  It can ship to you in 3-5 business days. Shipping within the U.S. is FREE for all orders over $50.

This ensemble can also be commissioned in the size and fabric of your choice. Commission pricing for a dress just like this starts at $1.309, due to the silk fabric and add-ons, but more economical options are available. If you would like to commission it in the size and color of your choice, message me today!

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.

These tire repair reamers work great for plug/other type repairs
Size: 3 mm 4.5 mm 6 mm Tire, Number of Items: 3
These tire repair reamers work great for plug/other type repairs. Gone are the days of manually fighting a hand reamer through rough rubber. This is an efficient, neat and clean way to prepare a tire for the repair. Will purchase again as needed.

Got what I paid for.
Size: 3 mm 4.5 mm 6 mm Tire, Number of Items: 3
I dropped my drill with the bit installed. It broke quite easily. It was a relatively inexpensive so I can't complain. A higher quality harder metal would have earned 5 stars.

Great product

These bits are great. We use them every day e when patching or plugging tires. Having multiple sizes helps us match the bit to the patch we use.

Easy on the hands
Size: 3 mm 4.5 mm 6 mm Tire, Number of Items: 3
These make it much easier to ream tires that have been punctured. It takes the stress off of your hands, forearms and elbows especially when you’re plugging higher ply tires.

Handy Tool for Frequent Flat Tire Repairs
Size: 3 mm 4.5 mm 6 mm Tire, Number of Items: 3
Good quality and easy to use. As someone involved in emergency services, we deal with flat tires often, and this tool has been really helpful. The bits are sharp, durable, and make the repair process quicker and cleaner. Great to keep on hand for regular use or in a roadside kit.
