We are delighted to offer an expertly sewn sample of the exquisite costume entitled "Basset Hall." Created for our Georgian Wooden artist dolls, Belinda Noble and Dido Washington, this gown affords your doll an elegant day look rendered in Indienne print linen…

A young lady of means in the early to mid-18th century would wear a costume consisting of a petticoat, gown and a hat or head covering. This ensemble is comprised of natural linen, in a warm oatmeal hue, beautifully embroidered in an Indienne style botanical motif in mouthwatering shades of pink and violet. Trimmings include delicate linen soutache braid, crocheted lace and rich burgundy silk ribbon. The fitted bodice features a delicately seamed back, squared “court” style skirt, and fitted elbow length sleeves with a flounced cuff lined in layers of frothy crocheted lace. The lavishly embroidered petticoat matches the squared court shape of the gown. The stomacher is sewn of multiple layers of linen creating a firm texture, is overlaid with linen and embellished with a burgundy silk bow at the bust. A linen bergere style hat trimmed in linen soutache braid and dried flowers completes the stunning, period accurate look. A pair of handmade leather slippers are included.
Sample ensemble only - Belinda is sold separately.
