JDV Costuming

This sea blue velvet dress is made in the 1530s French fashion, and has free flowing strip sleeves which reveal the green, blue and gold tapestry undersleeves which match the underskirt. It is 3 pieces (Bodice, overskirt, and underskirt.) This dress seems to baffle cameras as to its color, but it a more of a muted blue green, rather than gray as it appears in some photos. The cuffs have the same hand beaded pattern as the neckline, and the cuffs lace with gold stretch cord for ease of wear. The underskirt has an a elastic waist, and the overskirt fastens with trouser hooks. The bodice laces under the right arm. The Necklace and earrings are included. The measurements are: Bust 41in, waist 32in, hem length 43. I lent this dress to the local theater for a stage production of Hamlet, and Ophelia was not very kind to it. It has a small tear which has been repaired (visible in pic #16 and 17), and an eyelet was replaced.

This dress is Burgundy micro corduroy with trimmed actual vintage silver mink fur. It has 3 pieces (overdress, underdress, and belt.) - I named it "maroon and Mink" because "Burgundy Burgundian" made me giggle too much. - It has a high waistline and the hand beaded belt sits right below the bust. The overdress fasten with a trouser hook, which is covered by the belt, and the overskirts remain open to show the rose tapestry underdress. The dress has a Duchess style train. The nature of the Burgundian style makes this dress suitable for sizes 12-28, and can even work for maternity if needed. The belt fastens with trouser hooks, and can be taken in or let out accordingly. Underdress is short sleeved to reduce bulk and bunching in the sleeves. Asking $125.
