Misses sizes SM-3XL.This high-waisted dress known today as “empire” was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a “chemise gown” to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike. It’s peak of popularity was during the “First Empire” period (1799-1815); hence its name. It was worn floor length or as high as knee length in front; trains were also worn for day or evening until 1806. The Empire Dress has remained a favorite fashion silhouette until today.Folkwear presents a sewing pattern for this classic in three lengths, with two sleeve options.
