Description
Everything about this dress is wonderful. Wear as a dress, wear as a blouse, wear over other layers for an elegant Pirate Queen. Tight weave viscose rayon looks and acts like cotton. Crazy huge bell sleeves, elastic ruched waistline, and 2 gentle hem points in front, one huge dip in the back. Knee length in front, ankle length in back.
Wear with a corset and leggings, wear with a bodice and long skirt, wear by itself, you’ll find a myriad of ways that this will be your favorite. Wear out in the real world with a belt and jeans.
For the same shape as a blouse that is only hip length in front and thigh/knee length in back, try the Lady Cutlass Blouse.
To store: Try not to hang by neck elastic. Rather, fold in half and clip to skirt hanger.
S/M bust fits up to 38″, waist stretches from 20-30″, 18″ armhole.
O/S (one size fits most) bust up to 44″, waist stretches from 22″ to 34″.
Plus (label says 3x) bust fits from 38-52″, waist stretches from 26-46″.
Bountiful (label says 5x) bust fits from 55-64″, waist stretches from 31-50″, 25″ armhole.

This dress is lovely, but a bit too transparent in ivory to wear without a slip–I plan to underline the skirt portion in cotton gauze to make it opaque. I am 5’10, size 0 on top, size 6 on the bottom, and bought the petite-small. It is a bit shorter than it appears on any of the models, but not immodestly so. I may add a fine chain to the bottom hem as well, if it blows up too much in the wind. The fabric is also a bit yellower than photographed (you can see the fabric on the “blouse” listing). Despite these factors, this is by far the most beautiful pirate-renaissance-medieval dress on the market and I intend to wear it as everyday clothing, and over a long linen skirt for faires. Out of a piratical context, it’s downright pre-Raphaelite.
