    Description

    YOU BUY THE FABRIC AND SEND, WE'LL MAKE THE DAY DRESS PER YOUR MEASUREMENTS AND WORK WITH YOU TO DESIGN YOUR DRESS. Dress does not need to be the pictures shown...we can communicate together to create something, or you can find a picture of what you are wanting. Shear dress, Tropical Wool dress, Silk dress, Cotton dress...you choose.
    Dress will be lined with cotton, and will have the appropriate buttons, and will boast 4-5 yards in the skirt so you can
    accommodate
    a normal 4 or 6 bone hoop if desired.  Sleeve option will be chosen by you.  YOU will need to buy 8 yards of fabric if it is 45" or 50" wide.  If it measures more than 50" wide, only 6-7 yards is needed. You will need an additional 3 yards of fabric for any ruffles or self trimming if desired. This can be the same fabric as the dress, or something else.
    We will need the following measurements:
    Waist, Bust, Waist to Ankle length, Back Waist (from nape of neck where your bodice neckline would be to correct natural waist).
    The dress will be made to these measurements, so if you desire a looser fit, please let us know at the time measurements are given.  We are not responsible for measurements that are taken inaccurately.  If you (or the person measuring you) are not sure of how to take these simple measurements, please call us and we'll walk you thru the correct way to take measurements.  This dress, as well as all of our custom made dresses, are all created from original pattern diagrams of the period.  Modern clothing is now created for a "drop waist," putting your waist much lower than the 19th century norm.  Wearing a corset will also put your waist at the correct location for this period.  If you are a "low rise" and "drop waist" jean wearer, you can always bend to the side, and where your skin bulges in at the side is most likely the correct location for your waist measurement to be taken.  Because this is a custom order there will be no returns accepted.  All side seams are exposed so that you may take in the bodice portion if needed.  We will be glad to meet with you at The Octagon House or various events that we set up at during the year for fitting adjustments etc.
    Completion will be 30 days from the time the auction ends, payment is made and fabric is received.  We welcome open communication throughout this process.
