Women's Baroque Barmaid Costume With Lacing

Women's Cotton Baroque Barmaid Costume With Lacing

Historical Background And Period Fashion

This garment stylistically belongs to the Baroque period, roughly the 17th and 18th centuries. In history, similar practical and layered dresses were worn primarily by common women, peasants, maids, and of course, barmaids in taverns all across Europe. The Baroque barmaid attire consists of a petticoat and an overdress. The dress bodice is sleeveless and fastens with lacing at the front, which allowed women to easily adjust the garment to a changing figure. The long skirt flows freely almost to the ground. The entire ensemble is tailored from cotton (100%). Cotton is very pleasant to the touch, absorbs sweat excellently, and is easy to maintain, making it an ideal material for historical costumes designed for active wear.

Garment Maintenance And Care

To ensure this beautiful cotton dress serves you as long as possible, please give it proper care. Details can be found in the Cleaning and maintenance instructions section. We recommend washing cotton on a gentle cycle in a washing machine at temperatures up to 40 °C. Completely avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, which would irreversibly damage the colour of the fabric. Ideally, dry it freely hung and you can iron it on a medium setting meant for cotton textiles. We strongly advise you that the white long-sleeved blouse and gold jewellery shown in the photographs are not included in the delivery.

Recommended Period Accessories

To perfectly portray a Baroque tavern keeper from the 17th or 18th century, we highly recommend wearing a period linen blouse (chemise) with puffed sleeves under the bodice. Your look will then be beautifully complemented by a sturdy leather belt with a pouch for collected coins and authentic women's leather shoes from the given period.
