  • Classic Early 19th Century Dress Style
  • Made at Townsends
  • Available in a Variety of Colors

This dress is based on examples from around 1810. Its squared, slightly gathered neckline and short gathered sleeves are true to the period. The high under-the-bust waist is classic Empire. Both the neckline and waist are tied in back. The bodice is closed in back with bone buttons.

Because undergarment styles were extremely diverse during the Empire period, we have settled the issue for this dress by fully lining the bodice. The skirt is lined to about 36" from the underbust, which emulates the knee-length chemises occasionally worn during the period. The subtle back train gives the skirt a graceful, sweeping hemline.

Clothing styles took a dramatic twist at the turn of the 19th century. The Empire dress was a prime example of this French fashion invasion, based on that society’s fascination with the ancient cultures of Greece. As the Empire style made its first foray into British societies, fabrics were very wispy and somewhat transparent, revealing the female form that had previously been revered with utmost modesty. Prudish reactions were strong. As a result, this very short-lived fashion period went through even shorter phases delineated by fabric choices and undergarments (or most often, the lack thereof).

Ok jacket that’s good for the money.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
This obviously isn’t a tailored suit but, it looks good, fits ok, and serves its purpose. It’s cheap enough to overlook any shortcomings but, for the price? Yeah, it’s worth it. How long will it last? Time will tell but I’ll only wear it occasionally so it should last a while.

For the price, it’s nice
Color: Black, Size: Medium
For the price, this is a really nice jacket. But, for double the price, I bought one at the department store, and it’s way nicer. Would I buy this again? Probably not. Bought a medium, fits like a 38R. I’m 5’9” 175 lbs. slightly snug, but I’m losing weight.

Great suit jacket
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
We bought this for my son’s school dance and his confirmation. They matched his suit pants that we purchased from a department store and the jacket fit perfectly, running true to size.

Decent
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Smells strange, assuming its the dye. Good fit, although the arms are quite long. Also had some strange stitch going across the left breast area that seemed like a mistake and was an eye sore. Good value overall for a quick put together suit.
