Be your favorite gothic literary heroine in this perfectly tailored, high-quality, historically accurate mid-Victorian day dress. This dress is perfect for attending an event, reenacting history, acting in theatre, or for admirers of Victorian mourning rituals and gothic literature. It is probably what Jo March wore when mourning Beth's death.

Mourning dresses were made in all black with minimal trimmings. This dress is based on extant mourning dresses that can be found here.

As a modeling sample, this mourning dress was worn for photography.  It is the only mourning dress in this size, fabric, and design and is available at a reduced price.  It can ship to you in 3-5 business days. Shipping within the U.S. is FREE for all orders over $50.

This ensemble can also be commissioned in the size and fabric of your choice. Commission pricing for a dress just like this starts at $1.309, due to the silk fabric and add-ons, but more economical options are available. If you would like to commission it in the size and color of your choice, message me today!

----------------------------------------------------

ALL THE DETAILS

This mourning dress is a women's size 6 (small) and is ideal for heights of about 5'2" to 5'4".  It includes a bodice and skirt, as well as a white collar (which is basted in) and a dust ruffle that buttons into the hem.

This dress is made in the Meg's Afternoon Gown design out of a black 100% silk crepe and includes:

  • a "V" shape bodice, which visually broadens the shoulders and narrows the waist
  • a button front closure
  • fully lined and fitted, boned bodice
  • black velvet trim on the bodice and sleeves (a $75 add-on)
  • matching piping on the bodice (a $75 add-on)
  • a white (100% cotton voile) collar trimmed with cotton lace (a $25 add-on)
  • long, fitted sleeves trimmed ending in a cuff that closes with hook and eye
  • a fully pleated skirt with a width of about 170" and made to fit an elliptical hoop (a $100 add-on)
  • hem facing
  • a ruffle around the bottom half of the skirt (a $150 add-on)
  • a dust ruffle (50/50 cotton/poly broadcloth) that buttons into the hem (a $125 add-on)

The dress measurements are as follows:

  • Bust: 36"
  • Waist: 28.5"
  • Back neck to hem length: 52" (plus a 6" train on the back)

If you would like additional measurements, please contact us and we will be happy to provide them! 

To achieve the correct historical silhouette, the dress is pictured over a corset, petticoat, and elliptical hoop, but no corset, petticoats, or hoops are included with this listing.

**PLEASE NOTE: All samples are boned with heavy duty zip ties, rather than synthetic whalebone, to help keep costs low.  I find these are just as quality as synthetic whalebone and bone all of my personal historical garments with heavy duty zip ties, but I wanted to disclose this information before you purchase the garment.

----------------------------------------------------

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

Please measure yourself while wearing the corset and other undergarments you plan to wear with the ensemble.  Remember that measurements such as your bust and waist should be smaller than the dress measurements by an inch or more, to allow for ease of movement.

Refer to the measurement graphic in the listing and the video tutorial if you need assistance in understanding and taking your measurements. If you still have additional questions, please feel free to message me. If you would like it altered to fit your measurements, please message me for alteration pricing, as that will be an additional cost.

----------------------------------------------------

my dogs love it
Color: Orange
This interactive toy has been a lifesaver for keeping my furry friend occupied. It moves around in unpredictable ways, which really keeps him engaged and guessing. The rope attachment is a nice touch, allowing for a bit of tug-of-war when he's feeling energetic. It's durable enough to withstand his enthusiastic play, which is a huge plus. I've noticed he's less anxious and destructive when I'm not home since he has this to play with. Definitely a great purchase for any dog owner looking to provide some mental stimulation.

How many dog toys have you bought that just laid on the floor unused?
Color: Orange
New husky has more energy than an entire pre-school - even being walked more than three miles a day wasn’t sufficient to drain her excess energy. I threw the dice on this - and it’s AWESOME. Comes with an extra rope and an extra side piece. Rechargeable with a USB-C cable. When you turn it on, the blue LEDs flash, the entire device buzzes, bounces, and races back and forth across the floor. After a couple of days of uncertainty, my new husky LOVES this. She chases it around, grabs it by the attached rope and carries it from room to room. After a short bit of activity, the toy goes into ‘sleep’ mode, until either the dog touches it again or a timer has elapsed, and then it fires up and starts buzzing and racing around the floor again. From a full charge, the toy will keep your dog entertained all day. Bright orange color makes it much easier to find when it’s rolled behind the toilet (as it did this afternoon). Sturdy. Highly resistant to chew damage. If this one wears out or breaks, I’ll absolutely get another one.

Puppy interactive toy
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
It’s a great toy as it keeps my 5 month old puppy very entertained! It is pretty hardy and made of good material as she tries to throw it around and chew it. She does swing it around and the hard part will hit her. She doesn’t seem bothered by it tho lol good size and minimum noise When I first introduced her to it she was a little scared but now she gets excited to play with it once it finishes charging.

My Dog Is Obsessed With This Toy!
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My dog absolutely loves this toy and plays with it every day. The moving and rolling action keeps him entertained much longer than regular toys. He loves chasing it around the house and tugging on the rope. It’s also nice because it helps burn off some of his energy indoors. The material feels pretty sturdy, and charging was easy. Definitely one of the best interactive toys I’ve bought for my dog!

Waste of Money
Color: Orange
Cool toy but my dog ate through it the second day he played with it. It is not for strong dogs. No durability. I had to throw away the orange covers and now he just throws it around.
