  • Classic Early 19th Century Dress Style
  • Made at Townsends
  • Available in a Variety of Colors

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.

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).

Well made for organization
Color: Brown
The trays were purchased for my brother who has Parkinson’s disease. He’s able to pick things out of it with the low side profile. One sits on the top of his dresser and the other inside a drawer. They seem to be quality made.

Works Great
Color: Black
Got this for my office desk to keep everything arranged and the valet tray works out perfectly. The leather is holding up nicely, and the black color looks great on my desk. Everything fits nicely, and the little door on top swings with ease. The inner lining has a nice material thought it either wasn't fit right to the boxes, or it has delaminated so on some of the longer edges, I need to reglue them back to the sides. Once I do that, it'll be perfect. If the manufacturer is reading this review, please take a look at the adhesive used. Other than that it is beautiful and recommend.
