An Online Exclusive!!!! (we don't carry this item at shows)
A dress that is perfect to wear just about anywhere! Wear the dress as-is to a Scottish Festival, or add some accessories like a wrap belt, pouches and flower crown for a Renaissance Faire. This dress is amazingly comfortable and easy to wear. A most elegant variation of the traditional kirtle, but with a more tailored fit. It is a slip-on style with lacing at the lower back for ease of wear and comfort. Available in your choice of colors. Inquire if you need to match a specific color like in a tartan.
This style makes great bridesmaid dresses, handfasting dress or informal wedding dress. Lighter colors or specific colors for Brides / Bridal parties are also available by Special Order.
The Thistle embroidery has immense detail in the design work. Because of the amount of green involved with the embroidery, we do not recommend a green for dark purple fabric color for the dress itself.
Alternate Sleeve Options are shown below.
