This luxury gown from Selkie’s SS23 I’m Alive collection is sold out!
Combining layers of organdy and cotton creates a stunning 19th century silhouette, culminating in yards and yards of silk cotton, a sweeping train that bustles up in the back, allowing you to modify the length to your tastes. This dress is made in homage to the fictional character Isabel Archer, a free-spirited lover of independence (a coterie of suitors and an inherited fortune is nice too, but not a necessity.) Wear this for what one Gilded Age writer called “conspicuous leisure” —relaxing under a parasol, tasting cakes, and indulging in mild scandal.
The train is very long and bustles up in the back using elastic loops and fabric covered buttons. You can design the bustle shape by using whichever loops you choose to button.
This dress closes with a center back invisible zipper.
To ensure best fit, measure your bust and high waist before ordering and steam your dress for optimal beauty.
Organdy: 75% cotton, 25% silk
Lining: 100% cotton

@sorathemoon The *polyester* version of this gown in a different colorway is $635. The dress version (without the train) is over $500. This dress is rare because the Portrait of a Lady style is not always issued with a train/bustle, nor is it always issued in silk. To my knowledge, this style, with the train, in this fabric was not widely released. I’m not being dishonest at all, nor am I trying to scare people to make a quick buck.
