  • Classic Early 19th Century Dress Style
  • Made at Townsends
  • Available in a Variety of Colors

This dress is based on examples from around 1810. Its squared, slightly gathered neckline and short gathered sleeves are true to the period. The high under-the-bust waist is classic Empire. Both the neckline and waist are tied in back. The bodice is closed in back with bone buttons.

Because undergarment styles were extremely diverse during the Empire period, we have settled the issue for this dress by fully lining the bodice. The skirt is lined to about 36" from the underbust, which emulates the knee-length chemises occasionally worn during the period. The subtle back train gives the skirt a graceful, sweeping hemline.

Clothing styles took a dramatic twist at the turn of the 19th century. The Empire dress was a prime example of this French fashion invasion, based on that society’s fascination with the ancient cultures of Greece. As the Empire style made its first foray into British societies, fabrics were very wispy and somewhat transparent, revealing the female form that had previously been revered with utmost modesty. Prudish reactions were strong. As a result, this very short-lived fashion period went through even shorter phases delineated by fabric choices and undergarments (or most often, the lack thereof).

Best socks
Size: Medium, Color: Pink Elixir Assorted
Everyone got socks in their stockings this year. But no one was complaining. They weren't thin like some socks. But not super thick either. Just right. I even bought a pair for myself. No regrets. Will definitely buy again.

I like the ankle length, they don’t slip.
Size: Medium, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Anthracite
I love these socks, they are thick enough to not be scratchy, thin enough to be cool and breathable.

Fit great
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Halo Gray
Been a couple of months and they seem to be holding up nicely. Real picky about fit of socks and these fit well. They are very thin but very comfortable.
