The gathered skirts are made of soft cotton that mimicks the weave of linen without the expense. A double set of lace holes in the back of the waistband allows for adjusting the fit should you lose or gain weight. The extra-high waistband is superior to elastic waistbands because it helps to keep the chemise or partlet tucked in all day. You'll never look disheveled. (41" length from waist to hem) These skirts can be combined with other items available in our clothing department to produce different looks such as Country Wench, the Tavern Wench, Market Wench, Gypsy Wench, Apprentice Wench or Washing Wench. Chemise and bodice must be purchased separately. Made in the U.S.A.
