Renaissance Dress citizen Marjorie - Outlet

Renaissance Burgher Dress Marjorie With Lace Sleeves

Historical Context And Modern Usage

This dress is loosely based on European fashion of the 16th century, a time when great emphasis was placed on rich materials and layering. Wealthy burgher women and noblewomen wore similar garments for festive occasions. The tight bodice accentuated the waist, while the wide skirt gave the figure a majestic volume. Today, you will find this costume fantastic for historical reenactment, conventions, cosplay, or as luxurious attire for a period ball. The dress is designed to provide maximum comfort even during all-day wear at summer festivals.

Materials And Detailed Craftsmanship

The tight black bodice is made from soft, pleasant-to-touch cotton velvet and features practical lacing on the front, allowing you to make slight size adjustments for a perfect fit. The beautifully arranged sleeves, combining the red patterned fabric with a wide, bell-shaped finish from the elbow, are trimmed with elaborate black lace. The skirt, heavily gathered at the waist, is sewn from taffeta, giving the clothing a luxurious sheen and helping it hold its voluminous shape perfectly. We would like to inform you that the delicate floral pattern on the taffeta may vary slightly depending on the current availability of materials from the manufacturer.

Care Instructions For Your Historical Garment

To ensure your Marjorie dress serves you as long as possible and retains its vibrant colours, we recommend only gentle hand washing in lukewarm water up to 30 °C (86 °F) using a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying and bleaching at all costs. Hang the dress freely on a hanger to dry. You should iron the taffeta and velvet only on the lowest temperature setting, ideally through a damp, clean cotton cloth, or use a garment steamer to prevent scorching or flattening the fine fibres.

Recommended Accessories

To achieve a perfect historical look and add more volume to the skirt, we recommend wearing a period petticoat underneath the dress. You can excellently complete your overall impression with leather Renaissance shoes, an elegant velvet belt pouch, and period jewellery. Please note that the earrings and rings shown in the photographs are not included with the dress.
