Blue Bridgerton Dress - Regency Empire Waist

Our Guinevere Blue Bridgerton Dress - Regency Empire Waist otherwise known as a "kirtle" was inspired by the gowns worn in the movie, “Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998),” and was named for the mythical, beautiful Queen Guinevere of Camelot.

This elegant Guinevere Blue Bridgeton Dress - Regency Empire Waist features an empire waist, our signature style of front and back lacing, and a front and back modesty panel, that boasts a more customized fit to your body shape. Please note of the zipper on the bottom of the backside of the bodice. This provides a chamber to tuck and hold the extra length of laces/ribbons, and keep them in a tidy fashion.

The Guinevere Blue Bridgerton Dress - Regency Empire Waist was designed to provide a tight fitting corset overdress, showing off a snug bosom and formed waist, while flaring out into a full, straight skirt. In Medieval through Regency times, this style corset dress was to be worn over a chemise or underdress. A chemise or underdress was used to create a barrier between the more expensive garment and the skin, to extend longevity of use between washings. The Guinevere Blue Bridgerton Dress - Regency Empire Waist gives the illusion of a gown being worn over a chemise or underdress.

The Guinevere Blue Bridgerton Dress - Regency Empire Waist features a loose box pleat design along the neckline, a faux subtle peek of a chemise at the shoulder, leading down to sleeves with a ribbon adjustment at the elbow to customize the comfort to your arms. A robe-style corset gown, because of the open front, it must be paired with a skirt or something similar underneath. Please regard that this design is NOT suggested with the use of an Immortelle Stomacher due to the nature of the bodice. Embrace your inner royalty with this delightfully glorious gown.
