Description

women's empire line dresses 215 Empire DressMisses sizes SM 3XL. This high waisted dress known today as "empire" was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a "chemise gown" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike. Its peak of popularity was during the "First Empire" period (1799 1815); hence its name.

Misses sizes SM-3XL.

This high-waisted dress known today as "empire" was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a "chemise gown" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike.  Its peak of popularity was during the "First Empire" period (1799-1815); hence its name.  It was worn floor length or as high as knee length in front; trains were also worn for day or evening until 1806.  The Empire Dress has remained a favorite fashion silhouette through today.

Folkwear presents a sewing pattern for this classic in three lengths, with two sleeve options.  A narrow bodice is gathered into a slim A-line skirt front and side panels, and full gathered skirt back that falls to just below knee length, full length, or full length with train for weddings or formal wear.

On the traditional version, drawstrings fit the bodice firmly to the bust and tie at center back. For contemporary wear, we suggest a closed back and elastic in place of the drawstrings. Short puffed sleeves may be cut very high or slightly longer - both are authentic. The longer sleeves feature button and cord detailing. 

Suggested fabrics: Soft, lightweight or medium-weight fabrics such as cotton gauze, batiste, dotted Swiss, rayon challis, silk, very lightweight silk velvet with drape.

Sewing Tip

Linda of Pine City, Minnesota, says this dress is popular with the Fur Trade reenactment crowd and she has made it several times. She says, "Some of us have a devil of a time putting together the little pieces that go around the armhole. The pattern markings are critical, and you should use tailor's tacks and position them carefully. I also suggest that you clearly mark the wrong side of each of the little pieces if your fabric's right and wrong sides are similar."

Quite clicks and easy manueverability. Works great.
Color: White and Gold
I was very pleased when I opened the box and seen that the actual mouse looks exactly like the pictures. It is lightweight and glides easily along my mouse pad. The colors are gorgeous and makes it look very chic! And it works great. It was easy to set up, just plugged in the USB receiver and it was up and running right away. The clicks make a muffled sound that is kind of soothing.

I hold this more than my husband's hand!
Color: Black and Gold
So much about this mouse is RIGHT!! The smooth feel in my hand, the way it glides across the mouse pad, and the silent scrolling and clicking feature are all great features I look for in a mouse. As an online college student, homeschooling mother, writer, digital designer, and business owner, a computer mouse is one of my most used "tools". The battery life seems to be alright, although I did not realize it was ran on batteries and am not looking forward to the ongoing replenishment of that. I would prefer a mouse that charges if it were to be wireless or just have that cord attached. It responds with my computer and laptop well with little to no lag. Visually, it is gorgeous, classy and professional while also being cute! The black with the rose gold colors really make a statement. Aside from the longevity and sustainability of batteries, I love everything about this mouse. Show me this mouse with a few upgrades and the ability to charge an internal battery and I will be all over that with 5 stars!

Quiet, Sleek, and Surprisingly Premium for the Price
Color: White and Gold
I’ve gone through a lot of wireless mice over the years, but this one genuinely surprised me. The design looks much more premium in person — the black and gold finish gives it a sleek modern setup vibe without looking cheap or flashy. The mouse is super lightweight, smooth, and almost silent when clicking, which honestly makes a bigger difference than I expected. Great for late-night work, studying, or coffee shop use without annoying everyone around you. Setup took seconds — plugged in the nano receiver and it worked instantly with my laptop. No lag, no connection issues, and the tracking has been very responsive on different surfaces. Battery life has also been solid so far. For the price, this feels like one of those underrated tech finds that ends up becoming part of your everyday setup. Clean aesthetic, quiet performance, portable, and reliable. Definitely exceeded expectations.

Nice, quiet and durable mouse
Color: Black and Gold
After trying several mice, I purchased one of these. It is small and very quiet. Since I spend many hours a day at a computer that can be rough on mice. I have since purchased more of these. It will take the average user quite a while to wear one out. And they are inexpensive.
