Be your own Amy March in this high-quality, historically accurate mid-Victorian ball gown. Whether you are an attendee at an event, a historical reenactor, an actress in theatre, or an avid admirer of Louisa May Alcott's works, this gown will make you feel like Amy at the Christmas party in Nice.

This ball gown consists of a bodice (with a removable berthe collar) and a skirt, with an optional overskirt for late 1860s impressions.  It is based on extant ball gowns from the 1850s and 1860s.

Contact us through the “Custom Orders” page if you would like to discuss additional fabric and customization options that are not available on this listing.

----------------------------------------------------

ALL THE DETAILS

This gown is made-to-order; choose the size that you currently wear in contemporary sizing and choose the fabric combination from the fabric choices. Within 3-5 business days of receiving your order, I will send you a measurement worksheet listing the measurements required for a perfect fit. 

The ball gown features:

  • two pieces: a bodice and skirt
  • fully interlined and boned bodice
  • off the shoulder neckline
  • ribbon through the lace at the neck of the dress
  • a removable collar (berthe) that is decorated bobbinet, lace, and flowers
  • a "v" at front center waist
  • a back closure that laces up through hand sewn eyelets
  • short, puffed sleeves of bobbinet under oversleeves of the fashion fabric
  • a pleated skirt with a width of 165" or more (choose from the skirt styles in the drop down choices)
  • a hem facing of cotton
  • two roomy pockets, hidden in the side seams of the skirt

The price shown is for the basic dress and does NOT include: piping at the neckline, armsyces, or waistband or a train on the skirt.  If you desire any of these added to your dress, please choose these add-ons and accessories in the Little Women Collection and add them to your cart when purchasing the dress.

Measure your bust and waist and choose your size based on the pictured sizing guidelines. For the most accurate fit, please take the measurements while wearing your corset. The dress will be hemmed to accommodate hoops and sit about 2" off the floor, based on the measurements you send after you order.

Choose your fabric; you can see the options below. Please note that the only available options are fabrics that are suitable for Amy's Ball Gown!  If you prefer a different fabric choice, please click on the dress name to be taken to that listing so you can order that dress and fabric.

Little Women Collection Dress Fabrics 

Current fabric choices are shown with inspiration photos to help you visualize the dress in that fabric.  These inspiration photos are either photos of extant dresses or period fashion plates.  They serve ONLY as inspiration and do NOT depict exactly how your dress will be made.  Once you order, I will contact you to discuss measurements and confirm your exact design details.
----------------------------------------------------
HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

Please measure yourself while wearing the corset and other undergarments you plan to wear with the gown.  Remember that measurements such as your bust and waist should be 1-1.5" inches smaller than the dress measurements, to allow for ease of movement.

Refer to the measurement graphic in the listing and this video tutorial if you need assistance in understanding and taking your measurements. If you still have additional questions, please feel free to email me.

To achieve the correct historical silhouette, this gown is pictured over a corset, elliptical crinoline, and petticoats, but no corset, crinoline, or petticoats are included with this listing. This dress is made to fit over a historical corset and will not fit correctly over modern undergarments. However, if you would like your commissioned dress to fit over modern undergarments, please send an email, and I will be happy to oblige!

----------------------------------------------------
CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Care instructions will be included with your order, but if you choose a silk or wool fabric, it will be dry clean only.  Most dresses made with cotton, linen, or polyester fabrics can be washed.

All fabrics are preshrunk, usually by prewashing.  Seller is not responsible for any allergic reactions to the detergent used in prewashing.

Excellent Sublimation Paper – Perfect Prints Every Time!
Size: 8.5"*11", Color: 150 sheets
This sublimation paper is fantastic! It’s high-quality and works perfectly with my sublimation printer. The prints come out vibrant, sharp, and transfer beautifully onto mugs, shirts, and other materials without smudging or fading. The paper is easy to handle, doesn’t jam in the printer, and holds the ink well for a clean transfer. I’ve tried other brands before, but this one consistently gives professional-looking results. Definitely a must-have for anyone doing sublimation printing!

This paper prints beautifully!
Size: 8.5"*11", Color: 150 sheets
Great sublimation paper. I usually use A Sub but ordered this because it delivered faster, and now this is the paper I’ll be using! It prints wonderfully! The ink release is amazing! There’s hardly any ink left in the paper and my shirts look incredible. The paper is a great weight and doesn’t jam at all. If you’ve been disappointed with your sub print quality, give this paper a try. You won’t be disappointed!
