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).

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.

Please visit our fabric swatch page to choose a pattern, then enter your choice in the field above. Prints for this style of dress were typically small and light. When ordering, give measurements for bust, beneath-bust, bicep, and length from under-bust to floor hem - please put these measurements in the comment field of your online order.

3 year old twins and older children all loved this coloring book and learned from the stories.
Format: Paperback
I bought 5 of these coloring books for my grandchildren. They started home sunday school at my house last Sunday and we used these books for the twin 3yr old boys. They actually memorized that God created the Heavens and the Earth. That was our lesson 1. They enjoyed coloring the pages related to the story!. Success on day 1! We will use the coloring books for children aged 9-3 in future. Well worth it for us! Hope you enjoy!

Amazing
Format: Kindle
This was one of the most amazing stories of truth of God's love that will increase your faith with the substance that only he can provide. If I had the time I probably would've finish this book in one day! It also shows that you have to bind the strongman over an area in order to spiritually move forward and it can only be done through God's Holy Spirit and power!
