A Polonaise gown was considered a "day dress" and was won by women of all classes. The gown consists of a bodice and attached pleated overskirt which can be bustled for numerous looks. This Polonaise gown has attached linen cording under the overskirt meant to bustle it in the polonaise style.
This garment has a lot of hand sewing detail, which exactly resemble the museum collections. 2 buttons adorn the back where the linen loops hook around to Polonaise the gown. The gown can also be bustled from underneath
The sleeves are elbow length and come with detachable pinked ruffles of the same gown material and natural linen. The bodice and sleeves will be lined with linen and constructed in the proper historical manor. The bodice buttons up the front with 12 self covered wooden buttons.

I never make exceptions with my garments or pattern to alter them to the woman of “today” they are completely and utterly historically correct. At first your shoulders may feel awkward, but you can trust that in my years of doing this, the end look is worth it. You will feel like you are a woman of that time and you will never have to worry about someone nitpicking your garment. Everything down to the hand sewing and the correct fabric for the correct date is used. Some of my garments have even gone to museums for display. If you have any questions please e-mail me.
