Before she was a Countess commanding vast estates, she was a young noblewoman navigating the same court, the same fashions, the same ambitions as any woman of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis set imagines the kind of gown a young Bess might have worn as she rose through the ranks of Elizabethan society: bold black and gold, striking and unmistakably regal. I used my finest gold cording on the prototype so this one is not only perfect -- the work of an experienced embroiderer but its dazzling in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's an underskirt panel set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis isn't a full garment — it's a set of richly embroidered panels made to be sewn or tied onto a gown you already own (or one being made for you): an underskirt panel, sleeves, and a bodice front. Think of them as the jewelry of your gown — the pieces that catch every eye across the room, and totally unique. I'm the only one in the world making these in real gold and silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Set Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Underskirt Panel — 43 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Pair of Sleeves — 26 inches long, tie-on style, size XL (customer trims to fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Bodice Front — 12 inches matching design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The prototype shown features sleeves from my Lady Anne design.
