1826 Florentine peasant attire, made to measure.

The gown is made of linen and cotton and includes: one gown (consisting of a skirt and an embroidered bodice/jumps) made of linen or cotton, one linen shirt with 2 lace inserts along the arms (like in the pictures) and the linen or cotton apron.

The bodice is a pair of jumps (=a 'softer' type of corset) with hand made cross-stitch, lined with cotton or linen. The bodice is boned with flexible steel bones or synthetic whalebone. It has a spiral lacing on the front and you can wear it with or without the additional pièce d'estomac.
 
Eyelets can be
-hand sewn with linen thread
-hand sewn with silk thread
-metal eyelet hand-covered with thread (this option has slightly larger eyelets)
 
Options for the corset/stays boning:
Flexible steel bones (this option is the one shown in the pictures)
Synthetic whalebone
(Difference between flexible steel bones and synthetic whalebones: the first are heavier, they are less inclined to bend if stored incorrectly or due to body heat but they are more sensitive to perspiration. The second are lighter and less rigid, if they get slightly bent, the corset can be restored with pressing)
 
The skirt is closed on the sides and it's lined with cotton or linen.
The shirt is pleated and decorated like in the picture: the lace will be as matching as possible to the color of the shirt fabric.
The apron is made of linen/ cotton and has a bib like in the pictures.

Petticoat, fichu and jewelry are not included, but they can be requested: see the following “custom orders” section.
Please note: this type of dress requires the correct petticoat to achieve the correct silhouette.

The gown will be made in the color/colors of your choice, but being an historical costume, if you want to maintain the historical accuracy, I will recommend/suggest to avoid modern colours.
