About this Product
This lovely, full length, empire style dress has an old world charm with modern comfort and fit. Elastic casings at the arms, shoulders, and under the bust comfortably snug the body for gentle, perfect fit. A-line skirt flares out from underbust casing. This magical ocean cotton print shows anemones, seaweed vines, fish and coral berries, against a backdrop of marine blue hues. Coordinating ruffle and underbust casing are made from a hand dyed dark lavender linen that is soft and flowy. Lovely worn on its own, or layered with an undershirt, or corset or vest, tights, etc. My empire dresses are comfortable, lovely, and complement every body type. Oh! And did I mention it has pockets?!! They are sveltely hidden in the side seams.
Size Medium to fit busts from 35" to 39" (inches)
Length from underbust casing to bottom edge of ruffle is 47", but I do include a free hem with your purchase, so if you'd like it shortened, please just message me.
A gorgeous and magical oceana dress that can be worn casually or as a special event or dinner dress.
Aquariuz Sewing Shop
Meet the Maker
Hi, my name is Trinity. I have been a professional tailor and dressmaker for almost 30 years now. I originally learned basic sewing from my mother, and kept designing and sewing all through my teenage years. At 19, I began working in the fur and leather aspect of the industry, creating and altering buckskin and various other leather and fur jackets and clothing. As time went on, I worked in a lot of different sewing settings, from factory line sewing to a mens tailoring shop, all the while continuing to create my own clothing and dress designs and selling them at faires, markets, and eventually online when the internet came along. These days I have my own sewing and alterations shop located in beautiful Sonoma County, Ca., where I alter customers clothing as well as offer my creations for sale.
In my spare time (Ha!) I also enjoy hiking, foraging for wild mushrooms and berries, classic car restoration, mermaid swimming, and battling the stranglehold of capitalism.
Thankyou for looking through my shop~
