Description

womens empire waist dress 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."

The reviews are real! This frother is amazing!
Color: Black
I wasn’t sure how good this frother could possibly be for being less than $10, but I figured that many positive reviews couldn’t be wrong. I’m so glad I bought it. I usually buy those crappy, cheaply made $5 ones from the big box stores. They’re battery operated, never last long, and are weak. This one is the opposite! Heftier, rechargeable (no more batteries!), comes with 2 heads instead of 1, and the frother head has a double coil. It’s incredibly powerful! It doesn’t come with a stand, but if your like me and have any from the ones that have died… it fits those stands just fine! I use it to make my cold foam & using this frother, my cold foam turned out the thickest it ever has!

Great cordless frother
Color: Black
This milk frother has been a great addition to my daily coffee routine. It comes with multiple useful accessories, which make it versatile for different drinks and easy to clean afterward. The motor is impressively powerful, producing rich, creamy foam in seconds. Exactly what you’d expect from a quality electric frother, which typically delivers fast, consistent results with minimal effort. I also really appreciate the convenient charging base, which keeps everything organized and ready to go without dealing with loose cords. What stood out most, though, was the customer service. I had a minor issue with the buttons, and they quickly sent a replacement with no hassle. Overall, a reliable, well-designed product backed by excellent support.

Best frother for many reasons
Color: Black
I spent a long time searching for the right frother because of how much I would be using it. I make coffees, teas and protein shakes daily. I needed something more high powered than normal. Ive had others that just dont get the job done and/or dont last. (the 3 others I tried were all free gifts with a purchase of coffees or teas online. So now that i was paying for one, i wanted something better with all the good features) Its has 3 attachments for every possible use (if u dont know what the hook one is for, its great for protein drinks or any heavier powders u need to mix) but honestly all 3 attachments work for heavier powders due to the stronger motor. U can use it for cooking as well. The stand charger is super convenient and space saving. Multiple power/level settings. Definitely a quality item but with a bargain price. The cherry on top is the customer service. They're great! responsive and very helpful. Im definitely happy with this purchase and will now be looking into see what other products they have to offer. 🙂

Excellent customer service and good product.
Color: Black
Really like this frother a lot, with the attachments. Great price and works well. That being said, it suddenly stopped working after a few months, to my dismay. However, upon reaching out to the company, they replaced it very quickly. So I do recommend it!

Great frother, dumb charger
Color: Black
Works well. I got this to replace my battery powered milk frother from IKEA. I use it to make a protein shake every day. I just take a 16oz glass, fill it halfway with milk, add a scoop of protein powder, and mix it with the frother, using a combo of low and medium power, but realistically, low is all you need for that purpose. Been using it everyday for the past almost month since I got it, haven't had to recharge it and it's still working great. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the charger is micro USB. Not using USB-C in 2025 is honestly just insulting. Change that and you have a 5-star product.
