Short gowns are incredibly versatile in sizing because they are pinned closed. This one comes with 5 straight pins to get you started. As you can see, you can add a little flare to the sleeve with a quick roll or leave them down. These are all made out of breathable shot cotton, with a slightly (or sometimes strikingly) different warp and weft. This gives the colors a lot of dimensions and changes the hue based on what they are paired with!
The lake color combines different shades of very light blue to give this light and almost neutral color that is great is any combination.
I love the texture and fit. As a spinner on site, I also wanted a more modest and functional garment. This is it.
I originally ordered a size that was too big. Very easy exchange. Very pleased!
I love this short gown. It is the second one I've purchased from Samson Historical. The shot cotton is beautiful and the "Lake" color is perfect for summer heat, although I know I will wear it year round. I have always had great customer service from Samson Historical, too. Items arrive very quickly.
