Ensembles Inspired by Age of Innocence
My Age of Innocence ensembles are based on the beautiful costumes designed by Gabriella Pescucci. Don't be afraid to ask me about garments from this film which aren't listed here; I love doing custom projects!

Age of Innocence: Ellen's Red Evening Gown
This is the original ensemble designed for Michele Pfeiffer to wear onscreen.
My Version
This gown consists of a red satin bodice and brocaded skirt and overskirt. The bottom hem of the underskirt features satin-edged knife-pleats. This gown is "natural form" bustle style, which means that the fullness in the back is created by gathering the fabric of the skirts behind the knees/rump. The effect is heightened and maintained with a long, gathered peplum attached to the back of the bodice and via the use of a bustled petticoat under the ensemble. Petticoat available but not included (see below).
$950.00 for synthetic blend fabrics shown. Silk is available, and costs extra..
Age of Innocence: May's Archery Gown
This is the original gown created for Winona Ryder to wear in the Newport archery scene.
My Version
My version includes a single, ruffled, natural form skirt and button-down bodice, complete with machine embroidery based on the ivy design from the film. Petticoat available but not included (see below).
$895.00.
Bustled Petticoat
My "natural form" era bustled petticoat. Creates the right support and drape for the gowns above, and is sold separately. Available in a range of colors. Gown not included.
