If you would like to purchase a matching bustle, it can be found separately in the shop.

This gown draws visual inspiration from the timeless countryside innocence of Heidi, merging Alpine simplicity with Rococo romanticism. The hallmark of the Polonaise style--three gracefully ruched skirt panels gathered into soft poufs--is beautifully featured on the back of this gown. The bodice laces at the front with a faux-corset detail, accentuating the waistline in a flattering yet historically informed silhouette. The gown opens in front to reveal a soft ivory underskirt, enhancing contrast and texture. Crafted from a delicate green floral cotton, this piece evokes the gentle beauty of summer pastures and garden strolls. Pale pink satin tulip bows and hand-placed ribbon florals embellish the skirt in perfect pastoral balance, while the soft lace flounces on the sleeves nod to the feminine details of the 1770s-1780s. Whether you're attending a historical reenactment, a themed garden party, or simply escaping into an idyllic fantasy for a photo shoot, this gown is a poetic homage to the countryside fashions of Rococo Europe.
