Whether the 1800's woman was shopping...attending a tea or just going for a stroll she probably had a mantle of some sort in her wardrobe. This stunning mantle and matching skirt would be perfect for an outdoor reeninactment. A perfect example of what the well dressed woman had in her wardrobe.
Fabrics such as paislely prints, tweeds and wools would be lovely. The mantle will be lined and interlined. Each closure will have covered buttons or hook and eyes. I use authentic patterns, duplicates from different era's. I also design my own. As of this date my work has been used in plays abroad, musical productions and reenacting. There is no compromise on authenticity and construction. Only the highest quality fabrics are used. Each piece is sewn carefully and finished as if it were a wedding dress. Perfect for adding Sweet Romance jewelry to. My goal is that each item reflects it's individuality with great craftsmanship...nothing rushed...details however small that captures someones eye and turns their head to admire...I believe my gowns will make you feel amazing and my customers will make my gowns look beautiful!!!
