ALL THE DETAILS

This gown is made-to-order: choose the size that you currently wear in contemporary sizing. Within 3-5 business days of receiving your order, I will send you a measurement worksheet listing the measurements required for a perfect fit. 

The ball gown includes:

• a rounded neckline, with a scoop neck in front
  
• a fitted, darted bodice
  
• a fully lined bodice
• a back closure of buttons
• short, puffed sleeves with narrow cuffs
• a skirt that is gathered in back center, but fitted on the sides and front
• a sheer, decorative overlay on the skirt on most options

PLEASE NOTE: Read each graphic carefully, as some gowns include a sheer overlay  on the skirt and others do not.  If you would like the chemisette/cravat that Eloise is wearing, please put the "Eloise" chemisette in your cart and add a note in the checkout box that you would like a cravat with it (no additional charge!)  If you have any other specific details in mind or would like a specific character dress replicated, please fill out the "Custom Orders" inquiry form.

Measure your bust and waist and choose your size based on the pictured sizing guidelines. For the most accurate fit, please take the measurements while wearing your stays and other undergarments (i.e. shift, petticoat, etc). The dress will be hemmed to sit about about 2" off the floor based on the measurements you provide.

Choose your fabric; you can see the options below. Please note that the only available options are fabrics that are suitable for the Bridgerton Ball Gown!  If you prefer a different fabric choice, please click on the dress name to be taken to that listing so you can order that dress.

Bridgerton Fabric Options 

Current fabric choices are shown with inspiration photos to help you visualize the dress in that fabric.  These inspiration photos are either photos of extant dresses or period fashion plates.  They serve ONLY as inspiration and do NOT depict exactly how your dress will be made. Once you order, I will contact you to discuss measurements and confirm exact details.

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

Please refer to the measurement graphic in the listing and the video tutorial if you need assistance in understanding and taking your measurements. If you still have additional questions, please feel free to message me.

To achieve the correct historical silhouette, this gown is pictured over a shift, stays, and petticoat, but no shift, stays, or petticoat are included with this listing. This gown is made to fit over stays and will not fit correctly over modern undergarments. However, if you would like your commissioned dress to fit over modern undergarments, please mention that in the notes box at checkout, and I will be happy to oblige!
