History Inspired

This contemporary garment will make a fashion statement for anyone who is wearing it. This one-piece garment was greatly influenced by the Northern Renaissance costume. It contains a low scalloped neckline that is rounded at the bust and squared around the pit of the arm and shoulder. Pleats are gathered in a “V” shape at the hip to emphasize the waistline. The method of highlighting the hip could resemble “bum rolls” that women wore under their petticoats to really enlarge the silhouette of the waist. The body suit also displays sections of ruffles on the close fitting sleeves.

History Inspired

Between the late 1600’s and early 1700’s an innovative approach of creating women’s dresses began. The bodice and skirt were cut in one piece, instead of separately. This form of construction of garments was called manteau and was inspired by Middle Eastern robes. This original design was inspired by the popular seventeenth century fashions. The dress is a one piece with puff-sleeves at the shoulders and elbows. A belt can be a nice accessory added to manipulate the fit of the garment . It includes an attached bowtie like scarf at the collar that can represent the historic cravat; although the cravat was commonly worn by men during these times. A modern pair of jackboots; also most commonly worn by men, adds a unique touch to complete the look.

“Ancient Egyptian”

This unique dress was inspired by the ancient Egyptian sheath dress. The accepted style was a fitted, full or knee length dress usually embellished with intricate, decorative beading and sometimes feathers.
