The product up for sale here is a accurate 'Robe a la Francaise', as it was worn during the 18th century. This Robe a la Francaise exists out of several different pieces, which gives you the opportunity to not only look as a refined, 18th century lady, but to also dress in the way she did. Although in this case, it is without the pain that came from the tight stays :)
What you will find are:
- Chemise (Undershirt and skirt)
- Stomacher
- Panniers (attached to pelvis)
- Petticoat (attached to the pelvis)
- Gown (Gown skirt (attached to pelvis as well), saque back, jacket, sleeves right and left).
Your viewer should let you wear several clothing pieces at once with the 'add' function, which all updated viewers have.
Of course, the panniers and chemise are optional to wear, as they are unseen, but it is nice to do so, in order to make your costume complete and accurate.
The fact that the petticoat and stomacher are apart from the rest of the gown, as is accurate, gives you the opportunity to combinate them with petticoats, stomachers and gowns from other Robe à la Française's! You do not necessarily have to wear the pieces of this Robe à la Française necessarily together.
This gown offers you a fabulous, accurate experience of the 18th century. This comes for the price of L$450. The permissions are transferable.
Pretty but flawed
Dress fits well (which is good because it's No Mod) and is pretty from far away. Close up, the gold skirt texture is blurry. Lace on sleeves is very pretty until you notice the bottom edges have not been made transparent - gives an unfinished and rough primmy look to the sleeves. Biggest problem is you cannot sit while wearing this sculpted dress. Sitting down exposes your bare thighs and the knee-socks and knee-high chemise slip underwear skirt that comes with this ensemble. Depending on sit animation, the pannier can also sometimes be seen. Not very elegant! Glad prices have been reduced to L$99, which is a good price for a pretty dress to wear at a ball as long as you never ever sit down. I really do appreciate the fashion accuracy with all the underwear components. A little more attention to detail and this would be an exquisite dress.
