Victorian Dress Costume / Emma / Professional Theatre Quality
Theatrical-quality Victorian walking costumes, modeled after the late 19th-century "Second Bustle" era (circa 1883–1889). This period in fashion history was defined by an ultra-structured silhouette where overskirts were draped dramatically over a prominent, rigid horizontal bustle frame extending from the lower back.
Includes: Classic gown crafted from a fluid white or purple satin back crepe fabric.
It showcases a shaped bodice with vertical contrasting black pleated stripes along the torso, black lace edging along the wide scoop neckline and also on the draped apron overskirt that pulls back into a heavily gathered, tiered bustle display.
It is accented with contrasting black lace trim along the draped apron overskirt and low neckline. The bodice features distinct vertical black piping details. The ensemble comes with an integrated internal hip pillow/bustle pad to support the dramatic volume of the back drape.
