The Expedition

The Expedition, consisting of a polonaise and skirt, makes a grand statement- regal in stature and impressive in details.

The polonaise is a burgundy and bronze damask blend and is trimmed with revers of vintage silk velvet in a light brown, and satin pleats and covered buttons of the same color. The front buttons are velvet covered, and fasten up to the satin false shirt front. Fastened with snaps, this shirt front is adorned with extremely ornate vintage lace, hand-stitched onto the fabric.

The collar and cuffs are of fine linen from a vintage tuxedo shirt. At the base of the throat is a brass apothecary style beetle brooch. Edging the hem of the polonaise is coordinating trim and ball fringe.

The skirt, yards and yards of vintage silk velvet, features an extremely deep hem of box-pleated ruffles of tan satin with velvet covered buttons at every pleat. The pleated hem gives this skirt beautiful movement in motion.

The hat, a 1920's beauty in tan silk velvet, has been redesigned with swoops of curled feathers and satin in burgundy, and a delightful "bow" style stand at the back for added height. A coordinating purse in tan velvet with brass frame accompanies the suit.
Made for use with a moderate bustle.

Hat, brooch and purse ARE included with skirt and bodice. Gloves, corset, bustle and petticoat are not included. Size 12-14. Waist size approximately 28-32", bust size 38-43". Sizing is primarily dependent on waist size & is alterable to a smaller waist. There is some flexibility in the bust size due to the tendency of corsets to push everything up. Any questions, please ask!

* Underarm protectors have been sewn into jacket, as it has been used for fashion shoots and events. There may be minor, normal soiling at hemline. Dry cleaning is recommended.
