Commedia dell'arte Theatre Gown

Commedia dell''arte was an early form of professional theatre originating from Italy and was quite popular in Europe from the Renaissance through the 18th century. Our lovely gown encapsulates all of the beauty and splendor of these lavish productions.

Made from dark red taffeta and black velvet, our rich, full dress features a silver-and-black velvet arabesque-print stomacher, which is also used as a center insert on the skirt and in the circular sleeve flounces. A dark silver trim outlines the dress's accents, along with dark red velvet. The dress has a lace-up back with a 5 modesty panel, along with a rear sash that can be used to cinch the waistline, giving the garment adjustability. The skirt measures a full 46 from the waist to the floor, which allows for our farthingale, too. Comes with a matching 6 red taffeta hair bow, which accepts a feather plume.
