This is a wonderful three (3) piece ensemble! The jacket is perfect for cool evenings or a bit more formal look. Let's begin with the sleeveless crochet shell. The shell is sleeveless with a rounded neckline. The crochet is open and airy over a lightweight white cotton lining. The bottom edge of the shell is accented with a wide horizontal crocheted floral band and scalloped hemline. Vertical slits at each side seam give a bit more room along the bottom portion of the shell. The matching skirt features a wide elastic waistband. It is also fully lined with a lightweight white cotton lining. The crochet portion of the skirt is longer than the lining crating an airy feeling. The hemline of the skirt is a modified hankerchief style and reaches ballerina to floor length, depending on height. The jacket is cut in a simple design. It has a center front opening with no closure. It has long sleeves and vertical slits in the side seams. The jacket is a lightweight rayon. The simplicity of the jacket is the perfect compliment to the crocheted shell and skirt. These sets are generous in size; however, we recommend you send us your measurements and we will set our dress form to match and to help recommend proper size. They are available in Sizes Small and Medium.

"Sense and Sensibility" Style Gown
Size 6
This reproduction gown is reminiscent of the Regency era (early 1800's) and looks like it could have stepped out of Jane Austen's book, "Sense and Sensibility." The gown has a wide, square neckline with leg o'mutton sleeves. The top portion of the sleeves are very full and filled with net to help hold their shape. The fitted portion of the sleeves are done in a vertical striped material which looks like a combination of vertical ribbons alternated with vertical net strips. The sleeves end in a point over the back of the hand. The shoulders of the gown are beautifully decorated with flowers - they add a bit of color and so much romance! The gown is cut in a princess styling. The entire gown is lined with a very pale peach lining. The bodice is gathered and done in off white lace. A vertical striped material begins under the bust and continues toward the hemline; where the lower portion of the skirt (approximately knee length to the hemline) is done in two layers of cream colored lace. The skirt is very fitted with a center back slit. The dress has a center back zipper and label which reads, "Susan Lane's Country Elegance". It also has a Size 6 tag and measures approximately: bustline=35"; waistline=27"; hips=36" and length (shoulder to hemline)=57". I believe the gown is new and I could not find any problems.
