This ensemble is made of two parts:
1. The white linen chemise
2. The adjustable dress on dark red, or dark green.
Both parts are included in the price and are not sold separately.
Marybeth also has optional detachable sleeves, matching the dress! Choose at checkout if you want the sleeves or not! The detachable sleeves are an add-on to this dress and are not sold separately.
Marybeth is available as ready-to-ship on red, on dark green, on black and on ivory. Marybeth is also available on other colors as made-to-order, here.
The Marybeth dress is designed to make you look like a beautiful courtesan in a renaissance painting! It can be worn to ren faires, festivals, concerts, or casually, if you like feeling like a princess on a daily basis!
Made out of a durable fabric that doesn’t crease or snag easily, this dress has a wide skirt that is pleated by hand all around the waist. The dress has a boned bodice that is adjustable, lacing in 3 different places: in front and on both sides. The top adjusts on the sides with fabric loops, and in front with metal eyelets, both laced with sateen cord, corset style.
The dress is designed to have V shaped gap in front, optically making the waist seem smaller and the bust seem fuller.
The beautiful sateen bows are not just decorative, but they can be untied, controlling how high or low the top sits on your bust. You can choose to tie the ribbons lower, exposing more of the chest, or tie them higher, covering the chest completely.
Because the top is boned and adjusts with lacing, it cinches the waist and bust, lifting the breasts and giving the torso an elegant slimmed look, accentuating the curves of the body. No bra is needed when wearing this dress. The top, when laced tight, is very supportive to the bust.
The Marybeth dress is truly flattering on all figures, and accentuates the curves and beauty of each body type!
The white linen chemise is simple and classic, off the shoulders, with long sleeves. It is wide and gathered. The neckline and cuffs are gathered by elastic. The dress is fully lined with the same fabric as the rest of the dress.
The detachable sleeves are an optional add-on! They are made out of the same fabric as the main dress. They attach to the dress at the shoulders and they tie with 6 sateen ribbons on each sleeve.
The white chemise is designed to be seen through the gaps of the sleeves, like in a beautiful renaissance painting!
Even though this dress is ready-to-ship we cater to your height! Please measure the length from your waist to the ground, and we’ll adjust the skirt length to your height, free of charge!
Marybeth has two very adjustable sizes! One size adjusts between XS and XXL. The other size adjusts between XL and 6XL.

Leanne (verified owner) –
This dress is just beautiful. The fabric is thick and sturdy, but not hot or heavy. The lacing can be tightened to give you plenty of support – similar to a corset, but without any difficulty sitting/breathing (if you’ve worn a corset, you understand what I mean. Note – this dress is not the same as a tight laced corset, but you will not need to tight lace to get your desired shape – the three lacing sections can be used to nip in the waist and push up the bust just fine without tight lacing). I was worried about the satin ties slipping and not staying in place, but this is not the case – once tied they did not move on me. The length (for which you provide the designer with a measurement) is absolutely perfect and the red color is a very rich, beautiful burgundy. The linen chemise fits well – on me, it’s a bit “tighter” in the armpit seam, but then loose everywhere else – having this one seam without stretch actually helps the chemise stay in place without restricting any of my arm movement and allows me to wear it on or off the shoulders without it slipping down. The large ribbon ties at the top are perfect for allowing you to determine how high/low you want the bust to be. I wear a US size 18 (waist is 42in), and bought the larger size – I am able to tighten the laces so there is only a slight gap – which is consistent with the sizing chart (which indicates that waist 37 is the smallest for the larger size). I also purchased the optional sleeves, and they are wonderful. I have a very large bicep (18 in) and can tie the sleeve just fine since the ribbon ties allow for adjustment. The shipping was very fast with accurate tracking, and the item was packaged beautifully, with a hand-written note from the designer. I am already looking to purchase a second piece because I am so impressed!
