CLEARANCE - 90% OFF! Montagne Noire - Deuil Noire 1830-1869 Victorian mourning dress, hat & veil - "Romantic"
Details
Montagne Noire Clothiers presents Deuil Noire (French, "black mourning"), a line of 19th century ladies mourning garments. Our gown series is an interpretation of the four prominent gown silhouettes of the 19th century: Empire, Romantic, Princess and Belle Epoque.
The "Romantic" gown seen here reflects the crinoline or "hoop" skirt of the early to mid-Victorian era, from approximately 1830-1869. This version features the loose bell shaped sleeves that came into fashion for a time during this era.
The hat features black ostrich feathers and a long crepe veil at the back. A shorter, detachable veil for the face is also included.
The "Romantic" gown is modifiable, allowing you to tailor the garment to your proportions. The bonnet and wigs are copy/modify.
The custom of wearing black when mourning is said to date back to the Roman Empire, but the height of formal mourning customs and attire belong to the 19th century during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Montagne Noire specializes in historically authentic ladies and gentlemen's clothing and related merchandise. Our focus is Victorian and American West fashion of the late 19th century.

Good, versatile period wear for various RP settings.
Victorian RP is a thriving genre at Second Life. While I only mourn OOC for friends, if one of them happened to want a Victorian funeral, I'd choose this. Possibly has uses in Firefly/Serenity roleplay. Nice workmanship, nice fit.
Gorgeous
I am a big fan of Victorian mourning fashion, so this is right up my alley.
