  • Classic Early 19th Century Dress Style
  • Made at Townsends
  • Available in a Variety of Colors

This dress is based on examples from around 1810. Its squared, slightly gathered neckline and short gathered sleeves are true to the period. The high under-the-bust waist is classic Empire. Both the neckline and waist are tied in back. The bodice is closed in back with bone buttons.

Because undergarment styles were extremely diverse during the Empire period, we have settled the issue for this dress by fully lining the bodice. The skirt is lined to about 36" from the underbust, which emulates the knee-length chemises occasionally worn during the period. The subtle back train gives the skirt a graceful, sweeping hemline.

Clothing styles took a dramatic twist at the turn of the 19th century. The Empire dress was a prime example of this French fashion invasion, based on that society’s fascination with the ancient cultures of Greece. As the Empire style made its first foray into British societies, fabrics were very wispy and somewhat transparent, revealing the female form that had previously been revered with utmost modesty. Prudish reactions were strong. As a result, this very short-lived fashion period went through even shorter phases delineated by fabric choices and undergarments (or most often, the lack thereof).

Just Right!
The material is sports wear - light, breezy and silky to the touch. Pattern/Design came out as expected from the image, no errors and I tend to choose 1 size up so Medium - Large are my go to's. Fit well with spare room to fill. Worth the money.

Beautiful leather bag.
Size: UNIT, Color: Navy Blazernew British Tan
Absolutely beautiful bag. And at an amazing price compared to the Cole Haan website. Plenty of functionality and compartments. It will hold your MacBook and your iPad at the same time. And there's an exterior pocket for your iPhone. Very well made and extremely stylish.

Great bag!
Size: UNIT, Color: Black
Very nice quality leather! Beautiful bag! I used it one day and realized a messenger bag isn’t for me. I found the flap cumbersome to open so I switched to the more traditional Triboro briefcase.
